I posted in another thread that I had found someone with a truck of firewood that I wanted to buy. The truck, half filled has sat there for three days so far.
On Saturday I stopped and asked some kid that wsa doing concrete work at the front of the house if he lived there. He said, "Yes" and I asked him about the truck and the firewood.
HE told me that a person who lived in the back of he house owned the truck and sold wood at times.
OK, I said I'd come back.
Yesterday I went out to see if his car was out there and I say someone checking the truck with the wood in it and decided to walk down and talk to him.
I got my shoes and went over. I was leaving a note on the gate when the same kid pulled up and I told if he would take my name and number to give to the person.
He took the note and a day and a half later, nothing.
MY offer was 45 dollars, drive 1 block and leave it on my driveway- I didn't get the chance to let him know because NO ONE WANTS TO MAKE MONEY.
I told the story about the masonry crew I asked for a business card and they acted like I had some disease...no card to be had.
Sometimes I really do hope the bad business climate does bankrupt some of the stupid businesses and owners out of the market.
Again, there are tons of people that want to make money, but no FLOTA idjit wants to work for it.
One block and had the pice been right I would have helped unload the car and given the guy a few extra buck.
Screw it, I'll buy a cord of prechopped wood and that will save my back and time.
Incredible!:confused::rolleyes::mad:
