[SEL] spam: Re: Didn't want to sell

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Elden,
    There was a gent near me who had a real nice Domestic engine.  All 
the collectors knew he had it but nobody seemed to be able to buy it.  I 
had never tried and one day I stopped by his place.  After looking at 
the engine I asked him if he'd sell it. "No it ain't for sale" he said 
"I'll always hang on to it".  As I turned to get in my truck I said "I'd 
give you $200 for it".  He said "well, it ain't for sale but I ain't no 
fool, give me your money".  Seems as if everyone had tried to buy it but 
no one ever made him an offer.  When he said "it ain't for sale" they 
would just walk off.  You never know till you try.
