    Default Call me Crazy

    I was contacted by someone wanting to sell two pull graders, I of course was intrested until i finaly got a price from the owner.
    On the phone he said the little one would bring 3 and the big one would bring 6 to 10, now i was thinking in the hundreds but he was thinking in the thousands!
    The No 1 terracer he valued at 3000 and the 15 grader he valued at 6000 to 10,000.
    Now call me crazy but don't you think those prices are a bit high!

    Of course I told him if he can get that kind of cash for the graders then i had several truck loads I would be glad to sell him.

    .
    He probably gave $2000 for the little one, and 5000 for the big one.

    Why call yourself crazy,
    you know what most of them really bring.

    He may be shocked to find out what they will bring some day.

    It's funny how some people find out you're a "collector" and assume you'll pay ridiculous prices for what they have. My "collection" consists of things that came at near giveaway prices ("Rich" is just my name) or things that I have bartered my way into owning (some people call me "Mr. Haney").
