As soon as you add value to something, people are suddenly going to thing you're screwing them because they see the value of the finished product and discount all the work you put in to get it there. So suddenly it gets pulled out from under you.
I've seen it happen so many times. People are so damn cheap that they'll leave a piece of equipment rusting in the woods, but go in and offer them scrap value for it and suddenly they think it's a diamond in a goat's @ss and they want even more.
There's a old biddy that inherited her father's run down old farmhouse just down the road from me. She's surrounded by a shelter belt full of rusting old cars and other busted machinery. She's living off of social security and not much more because her old man was a pretty useless farmer.
The one neighbor that she kind of gets along with said to her that he was having the scrap guy come out to his place and pick up some old cars. This is back when scrap metal prices were through the roof. Asked biddy if she wanted to have him come out and give her an offer for all the "fine merchandise" that had been sitting in her shelter belt for 40+++ years.
So scrap guy comes out and gives her an offer of $5000 cash. Yeah. She had that much crap. Would have taken him days worth of hauling.
She calls him a son of a b!tch for trying to take advantage of her and runs him off. So all that rusting crap sits in the woods and she's still on food stamps.
Give something value and then suddenly some people think it's worth double. Get a lease or sure as heck you'll get run off that hay ground because the owner will suddenly think you're screwing him.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
