Keeping score

Bob Hackett

>Knowing Todder as I do I think this was just a way of posting a gloat for his buddy and not a question of if he should keep a tally sheet or not.

I think if Todd felt his buddy owed him anything at all it would be a point to a table or bucket where the picking might be good.

Just thought I`d clear that point up.

Mainely,Bob-Who`s tally would have to be kept on a legal pad if Todd was really keeping score.

>No Todd is serious! that man keeps track of every deal and wheel. You should see the e-mail I got last night! And I live half way across the country. To think he can see a table with goodies that far away. Good customers you treat differantly. you list stuff they will want real high on e-bay that way when it dosent sell they will e-mail you with a low ball offer that is a reasonable proffit.

>I just can`t keep up with you tool sharks.

I guess I`m just going to have to ship my tools to you and let you list them for me Ernie.

Ever thought about going into the brokering business?You could be the Jolly Jon of E-bay(ask Todd he probably knows what I mean).

Mainely,Bob-Who has pictures of "Rupert`s Rust Emporium" running thru his head.

>Have one good week and I'm Ebay Ernie. It was a fun week either it sold well or not at all. I had several friends watching that 78 fence but no one from around here had thick enough blood to take it home. I'll list any thing you want 30% and needs to bring at least $25 to make it worth my while. If it dosent sell either you pay the postage back home or I keep it. if it is somthing I want it will get listed in that catagory other with all distinguishing names misspelled. somthing like Stanlliey Bedrook Hand Plan You get the idea.

Jolly John

>Yeah Ernie, ordinarily you'd be right, but

1). Carry enough cash? Who in the dickens EVER has enough cash when going rust hunting?

2). I didn't want this plane, just didn't blow my whistle, but knew my buddy would really like it. would of bought it for him but didn't have enough $, so I did the next best thing and info'd him of it.

3). Walking in front of your Rust Buddy. HO! HO! HO!, Let me tell you that is a skill that I hone everytime we are together. Trouble is that he is also honing his. See, until we met we went rust hunting alone so therefore neither of us had any direct competition so our out-manuvering skills where never used. Now it's a priority. Pause a second to long and next thing you know he has gotten two steps ahead of you and makes a nice score. Biggest thing I have to watch for when with him is the ol' "What's that over there" trick. He'll spy a potential box, barrel or table to the left and than point to the right and say "What's that"? and as soon as I turn to look ZOOM! he's up to his elbows in rust. I swear I still fall for that 3 times out of 5. Also I have to be aware of when I CAN'T hear him speaking. He, like I knows alot of the vendors and enjoy cutting up with them, but when he's found the goodies he's as quiet as a mouse and that's when I know he's found rust. Aye yi, yi, yi, 'tis a full time job to stay one step ahead I tell ya.

Sunday was a fair score tho. I saw this bunch of rakes standing in a barrel and I decided it wasn't worth investigating, but he did and right beside the barrel was a table that I didn't see and the K 110 was on the corner of the table.

>To give you an idea,In one add he dressed up in a banana suit to give folks "A deal with real a-peel".

He`s so obnoxious he could be from `jersey.;^)

Mainely,Bob

PS-that`s pronounced "Joy-sea"

soo Why?

Ernie Miller

>Am I the Jolly John of e-Bay? Just what are you trying to say? obnoxious?

Re: soo Why?

Todd O. Cronkhite Maine Native in FL. Exile :~(

>Not to speak for anybody, but I highly doubt that it is because you're obnoxious because that is now where near true. I think it is more because the word Jolly conjurs up an image of a happy-fo-lucky individual which I feel certainly applies to you.

Todd O.

OK

Ernie Miller Topeka

>I can handle FOOL!

Perhaps

Bob Hackett

>It`s because I have no trouble picturing you putting on a banana suit and jumping around on TV in order to make a sale(or meerly for entertainment value for that matter).

You and Todd are the two folks most likely to make me smile when I read your posts.Others may make me think but even when you do that you almost always make me smile too.

Mainely,Bob

Yeah, yeah
