    Find all kinds of people

    yesterday I met 2 people different personality , First i hit a dumpster all trash except i see a pipe and about 30 ft of coiled steel used for cleaning drain ,must of become a tangled mess , Guy walks out as says it mine i want it . I offer to pay @50% value then he puts out a wacky value $25 . I say i cant at best its worth $ 7 then he says get walking . So i moved on . but for sure it was not about the money it was his distaste for how I was making money. if i just paid the excessive fee maybe i could have won him over ?? I noticed this morn still sitting in the dumpster with all the other trash ...................... Like he had any intention to pull out.
    Next person he is washing his car I ask he says take what you want from trash. as i am leaving he says I have an old tool kit from my father it's full of flood water . You want it ? turns out to be a vintage JH Williams ratchet kit , cleaned them up all working . if it was rust free I'd say a value $125.00 as i see just one ratchet going for $35 with a bid on ebay , even as is must have some value. It has value to me as i will use it and remember the contrast of people we meet daily.

    Why do you care WHAT the first guy thinks? He doesn't care what you think.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    yeah, don't satisfy the guy with his stupid price. You will never win him over.
