Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

Scroll to the top, look at the ads ... lots of OEM Walbro carbs, including desirable discontinued ones.

My nephew sent this picture of the two of us tonight and asked me if I was ready to get the boat back on the water yet

This boy doesn’t realize, I daydream all day, since 2nd grade….. of hunting and fishing

I’m just BLESSED to have a job that allows me to have fun in the outdoors

That's funny, once you made the trip to see the item I figure the negotiating is over. You can walk away if you have to, but if you wanted it for less, you should have asked me before we agreed to meet - I may not be interested in your offer and wouldn't waste either of our time. I use words and photographs in the listing to give a representative description, including the known flaws. Different philosophy I guess.

I don’t disagree. I mean it depends on what the item is to.

If I have something I’m just trying to get out of the yard, I’m fine wheeling and dealing.

On the other hand, if I have something that is high-quality and someone tries to lowball and/or insult me, discussion will be over.

One time as a young man when I was getting ready to move I sold a case of 7.62 x 39 ammo to this older guy who was really a jerk during negotiations but I wanted cash and wanted to be done with it. I said if anyone ever treats me like that again, I’m going tell them to f themselves. It’s nice when you’re holding the cards and you can just tell people flat out, NO.

Where did you get you OEM carb? No Stihl dealers close to me. I just got a Hipa for mine. Haven't put it in yet. If that is a bust, I'll go back to OEM.

EBay , not exactly sure if it was this guy , but he has a ton of oem Stihl parts for sale , and is good to deal with, https://www.ebay.com/str/seesawsrun...uid=Tlx6FfZ4S9a&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I hear you. Last boat I sold the guy showed up $400 short on the agreed price. I ended up keeping the downriggers and selling them separately to get my price.

I would be quite unhappy if I and a buyer agreed on a price, I took the time to show up with the item and the buyer then showed and tried to dicker over it. I would get back in the truck and go home.
