I learned not to waste time with diddlers years ago.Woman stopped to look at a picnic table I had for sale at 10 am .Said she would be back to get it at noon.Friend called later for a table,told him I had just one and it was promised.He said he would be going by to get some fertilizer.I said stop on the way back.If she dosent show its yours.On the way back he gave me a check.Too much on his truck so he came back with another truck.My truck was apart so I couldnt haul it for him.Woman never did show.I have been in business since 1966 here.I find that people who buy a table dont diddle around. They look the table over and pay me.If they dont have a truck I haul if for them free if close by or for gas money if any distance.Most give me twice what I ask.Two fellows stopped that do dry walling.Told them 125 plus tax.He said Ill think about it.That means he thinks the price is too high.I told him there are 2 places that get 140 and my tables built better.The buyers dont waste time or make low ball offers.The best one I ran into was when The local Mail carrier said she wanted a table.It was late fall so I made a special trip for the lumber.Told her when the table would be ready, she never showed.Saw her in april she said I want a table.I told her I would start building in 2 weeks.I asked her what happened last fall.Her husband thought it was too much so he patched their old table.Her daughter sat down, the table collapsed and daughter hurt her ankle pretty bad.She handed me the cash and said let me know when the table is ready.Junk cars are bringing 300 and up here.Why sell for less to chislers.People are nuts, if you do business long enough you know this.I sold 250 wood stoves during the first fake oil crisis.I was selling a basic wood stove for 115.00 had an ad in the city paper.A hardware store about 30 miles away sold the same stove for 149.00 and had an ad right under mine.A fellow I knew in the town next to me drove past my shop and paid the hi price for the same stove.I asked him why,he said he didnt think I had any stoves.I told him I had eleven on hand the day he made the trip.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work.
