Had to pass on this one

Did ok today. I'd sold my stockpile of batteries yesterday and figured I'd just not try for any more till Spring. So, this morning I get a call from a guy about 60 miles away who'd seen my website wanting to sell me some batteries. Tell him it's too far for me to run over there. He said he was coming this way, anyway, so dropped them off.

Then this evening, I get another call. Guy saw my website and wants to sell me a "huge" pile of scrap iron. Caller ID had showed an out-of-state number, which doesn't always mean anything (cell phones). I ask him where he is and he winds up spelling the name of the town. I'd ask him what STATE he's in. "Maryland". Now that one IS too far.

I am near Maryland, what part?

Baltimore

Sorry, not Baltimore. I just looked the number up and it's from Beltsville.

Let me talk to my brother in law (my truck is in the shop, but we can use his and my trailer)....if he is cool with it since he helps me on occasion, and if the guy still has it, I will go get it and send you a referral for hooking it up for me.

I will get back to you.

That is even better. Only 1 hour from me, instead of 2 lol

Do you have an idea on what all he has...also, you said, that he wanted to "sell" you the pile. Did he mention on what he was looking to get?

**Mick** · 12-13-2011, 09:08 PM

No. Didn't discuss it at all. Send me a PM if you want to follow up on it.
