For example, I was selling at a hamfest in Pa last month. Had a shoebox full of miniature tubes for $1.00 each. A real bargain considering tubes are going for much more on e-Bay. This putz comes walking up, digs thru the box for 2 minutes and pulls out *one* tube and wants it for 35 cents. I was willing to let it go for 75 cents but he wants it for 35 cents. No deal. He puts it back (tosses it) and gets all smart-ass saying "you'll sell it to me later for 35 Cents." The schmuck comes back 1/2 hour later digs it out and asks for it for 35 Cents again. I say OK, offer to wrap it, he hands it to me and while he's reachin for his 35 cents, I dropped the tube on the ground and smashed it with my trusty Nike, then told him I changed my mind and wanted $1.00 for it. This putz goes completely nuts saying he's looked all over 4 hamfests for this tube and he couldn't believe I smashed it. Jumpin up and down like a looney and me quietly hoping he would have a stroke right there as he must have weighed 300 pounds. A real "Eddie Slobbo" fer sure - baaaaaa hahahahah!! I just laughed and offered him a pleasant balance of the afternoon. After he left the dealers either side of me were almost teary-eyed laughing at the spectacle of this event, and we each shared a Pepsi from my trusty Coleman cooler and had a nice late-lunch at the pizza hut afterwards. El-Cheapo hams....always too much FUN to pass up the opportunity to poke'em-with-a-stick thru the monkey bars !! : ) : ) : ) Just curious, what was the tube type? |
