[SEL] Dealing Etiquette

[Germoamer at aol.com]

Mark,
 
Reminds me of the time I had "bought" a used truck a couple of years  ago.  
Heard about a used truck with very low mileage, so I called and went  to 
see it.  Sure enough there sat this immaculate truck in a garage, very  low 
mileage, etc.  Also in there was a nice travel trailer.  I finally  asked why 
he was getting rid of it.  He answered that he did not need an  expensive 
truck to pull his camper 50 miles down the road twice a year.  We  agreed on 
the price, shook hands, and he asked to keep it a couple of days  to remove 
his cb radio and electric brake system.  Two days later, on the  evening 
before I was to pick it up, phone rang and he said he changed his mind  and not 
going to sell it.  I just hung up the phone, as I was not happy,  and it was 
still his truck!
