Outnumbered Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 went to my mechanic's yesterday to get a pink slip for the wifes car and he told me this story. he had a car he was selling and wanted $4500 for it, one of his customers wanted the car but only had $4000 so he offered him the cash and a................ 1997 merc 8hp long shaft that was on his boat as an auxillary and had NEVER BEEN USED! (apart from an ocasional start up) he also threw in two 20ltr tanks and fittings. then he showed me the outboard and asked if it was worth $500 so being the generous guy that i am i offered him $600 for it he already has a small trailer so he has decided to buy a tinnie to put it on so he declined my generous offer but now he thinks he should be able to pick up a 14 ft tinnie for a couple of hundered. maybe i should have offered him $700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
