I hate boat buyers - Part Deaux...
My potential buyer called again this morning - wanted to make sure
that I "understood" his offer. Get this - he felt that based on his "surveyor's" report that perhaps he made an inappropriate offer. He went into this long explanation of the why's and how's then said this: "I don't want the engine as it's very old. Based on your asking price, my "surveyor's" report and the cost of a new four stroke Honda long leg which will cost me at least $3,000, I'll up my offer to $1,000." Basically, he wants me to buy his new engine for him. I told him never to call me again. :) Ever. |

I am then helping him move to Cambridge, MA. I am willing to end your pain of dealing with all these low life blood suckers by taking your boat off your hands. Of course I do expect to be compensated for my efforts, but I am sure we can work out something fair. I was thinking $500 in a certified check would be reasonable. Please make the check out to R.J. Smithers III. ps - Did I tell you he is graduating with honors and was awarded a scholarship from Columbia to be used for his post graduate work at the school of his choice? Don't you hate parents who bore people with their children's succuss stories? |

Out freakin' standing. What's his course of study? |

The HK Foundation appreciates those monthly checks you send, and promises not to tell everyone about the five illegitimate children you fathered in the Carolinas during your last trip there. |

Once someone ****es me off & insults me I wouldn't care if he showed up at the door with the full asking price in cash. I'd throw his sorry ass down the porch stairs and give him 10 seconds to get off the property before I unleash the dog. |

Out freakin' standing. What's his course of study? Well this is the "cross we must bare" ..... he is going to get his PHD in Philosophy and become one of those freaking liberal professors. On a positive note, he would rather teach overseas so he won't be corrupting our students. ;) |
