Where I screwed up was painting his palm with a $50.00 bill after selling the phones for scrap. The flow of recycleables has now stopped, and he is now "telling me" about all the great oportunities to make money off all this stuff...of course I have to act like I didn't make a killing off the stuff he gave me previously .
    I think you blew an opportunity, I think that he may have been feeling you out for an opportunity that would have worked out god for both of you guys.



    You may have missed your angel.
