Soooo.....He's in a big hurry to get this kart....."For his new toy"......

He asked for a pic of it......

Just made another offer....(which I declined) .....the frame, 2 bodies, and $100 cash.....I told him throw in the pocket bike .....or his small HD tv....

See.....mama didn't raise no fool....he's lying.....there's a 3rd party with cash in hand that wants that kart......

Yes.......but like I said....he's lying....he has someone that is willing to pay a few hundred for it......

EDIT: An interesting aside: he owes me for mowing his yard.....but claims he can't pay due to financial restraints....BUT!!!!!......He can throw in $100 cash for a new "toy"......C'mon MAN!!!!!

Soooo....I called him out....

He offered the red pocket bike, the tv, and one fiberglass body.....

I said no.....he said "Dude....You're high..I'm talking business here....what would you really take?"

I said: "Listen....I know you have someone interested in this kart and just want to flip it..." "You won't make any deals with me by insulting me or my intelligence and inflating the value of your crap...."

"What would you really take? I'm offering $650 worth of stuff for your crap...."

I said: " How come you have $100 to pay for a "toy"....but can't pay me for mowing your yard?"

"OK.....Here's what you do.....sell your $650 worth of crap....bring me $325....now....you have a new "toy"... and $325.....

He got PO"d and said he would bring me the cash.....(for the mowing)....and then we should "lose numbers ".....I said cool....."You are still welcome to come over and get water...."

Then he went off on this crap how he was trying to help me out but I was such a prick.....so I said : "Well....I hope that made you feel good idiot.....I withdraw the offer for water....and I strongly advise you not to step foot on my property....."

What a dipstick.....I'm the guy with the stuff he wants.....he can go play with himself.....and he has NO CLUE who he's dealing with.....

At least now we can say "fickle" The software must think this is a sewing forum "you got a pin Prick on your finger."
And for the life of me I can't figure out why this guy would call you a prick? You? Oh wait I think I remember you telling plane job you were a Prick on line and in real life!:lolgoku:

Ok....I think he finally made me an offer I can't refuse.......the two bodies, the frame, a pocket bike, and a 55" Toshiba HDTV.....

BUT!!!! He says he really doesn't want me to sell the white body or frame...but wants me to make a running kart out of them
...said he wouldn't mind letting the yellow one go....

And he swears he wants the kart for himself....

screw it, do it.... Fix that kart and trade him for even more next time.

I got it running like a top....but the carb is dripping now....it needs a new needle and seat.....the biggest problem is what I really need is cash.....

And.....he's so flaky....that I'm not sure I really want to deal with him....

His memory and reality differs from mine...he said I lost all the screws for the yellow pocket bike...and wallowed out the holes....(I told him when I first took the plastic off...."This thing is rigged...the plastic is missing all the screws....it's held on with zip-ties...." And the red bike did not have a starter...I made sure the screws were threaded in many turns....before I pushed it 2 doors to his house....it only have one....he claimed that's how I brought it....but...the spacer and plate...were not clocked in the same position....and he had taken the starter somewhere else and left it....

REALLY? ??? So why would he take the starter somewhere else and not bring the bike with it?? (That's what happened to screws).... and that's just the tip of the iceberg.....
