Example: I picked up a pair of Philco roundies recently. The guy agreed on a price with me over the phone, I began my 6 hour drive. When I was less than 45 minutes away, the dude calls me back spouting off some ridiculous number that some guy supposedly said he'd pay and that's the amount he NOW WANTED FROM ME.
I about throat punched the mf'er through the phone, but in the end I had to swallow a pill all because someone thought they could put one over on me.
On the flip side if there's something I can't pick up for one reason or another, I'm very good about passing those alerts on to people on the various forums. If you look at my posting history, you'll see what I mean. Collecting is all about the thrill of the hunt for most people, if I started giving away all my secrets there's be nothing left for me to hunt...like a dumb fisherman that tells his buddies about a great fishing hole he always goes to, we've all heard that one.
Best of luck in your personal quest! |
I just hope that 5 in Texarkana went to a "good home" either to be refurbished or used to refurbish another one. I PRAY it did NOT go to an "up(DOWN) cycler".. Like I said before...had it been ANYWHERE NEAR me--300-400 miles away...I WOULD have gone for it. but Texas is WAAYYY too far away !!
