Why Can't
« on: April 21, 2008, 06:02:10 pm »
Why can’t people be HONEST when they give a description of what they are selling?????  m-d

Do they just want you to waste your time traveling? The camper I looked at was not what I expected. Disappointed, Yes.

Well, maybe the next one will be nice and not need a ton of work. I'll keep looking.

Sorry to hear Jack, I know exactly what you mean. Recently went to look at something, and it's like "What the..?????" :surrender:


   yea, what a pain  - especially the time traveling -  I really hate that! , . In the above instance, I overtly expressed how he was basically lying about the item. What do these people think?

At least you have enough talent and experience never to be deceived...so that's good



  Just keep on looking something will  turn up....

Matt, it really sucks!! I don't know what they are thinking. They think they have a rusted out gold mine or what.

You would have loved a bug Patrick and I went to look at in Philly. The thing looked like the photos, really nice with new paint, untill your looked veary close. This car had more TAR hiding the rust and holes then your car. I said to myself, was Matt here?  :icon_cheesygrin: Someone not knowing what to look for would have paid top dollor and been crying ever after.

Matt,............

This car had more TAR hiding the rust and holes then your car.



  The guy should have know, .....It's all in the application, ........and prep work!


  Now see, without experiencing my approach, you possibly would have fell for it, liking the look of it

     -   with respect to the prep work, before Pat flames me, my pan had some rust issues before I applied the stuff.

& I was short on time, short on   d-s   d-s     and long on tar........... :icon_wink:


Good you passed it up
