Garage Sale & Wheelhorses

[boovuc 1,090]

Our community had their annual garage and yard sales event on Saturday. I had a pile of stuff I needed to get rid of. Old Laptops, geek stuff, hunting/fishing crap I never used, etc. It was mostly "man things" so to get the guys up my long driveway, I moved all the horses out in front of the driveway facing the road then put the tables of my "stuff" in front of them. Wow! What a magnet! Sold most of my stuff and had a good 4 out of 10 ask me what I wanted for the tractors. In particular, the one with the loader on it! Everything had a price tag except the tractors.

When people asked if they were for sale I said not really but...........I told everyone that there is a price for everything in this world and when I told them the price I wanted for any of them, they would either laugh, shake their heads or tell me everything they saw wrong with one. Again, I told them they really weren't for sale but I think I may have pissed a few guys off.

In any event, they did what I wanted them to do.

 

(4 grand for the 520 with the loader or all 5 tractors with all the implements I have for a 2009 to 2011 Chevy Silverado 4x4 Crew cab diesel).   

Hey! You never know!

I do the same thing at our flea market site at our nearby Steam Pageant. 2 of my friends pay for the sites and I stick my 704 or Elvis in the rear of the site to draw people in. Our tables and tractors for sale are out front and we have stuff scattered all over. People always wander over to the "Show" tractors and conversations start up and before you know it, they buy something.
