trying to buy a barn find, any suggestions

sheesh! heres what you need to do!
knock on door!
when she answers be holding some of these!!



if she is holding a shotgun well what can i say but "Run Forrest Run!!"

 

I have to agree. That's kind of shitty way to get someone to sell something they don't want to sell.

Jeez, leave your contact info and move on. Common sense.

Nothing pisses people off more than someone who is pestering them for their shit. Believe me from past experience. I've dealt with this one a-hole who wanted to buy a stupid low dollar part off of me. After I said no he would call the house. Hee then would call and talk to my wife when he knew I wasn't home and tried to get her to sell it to him.

To this day, the guy pissed me off so much that I have complete distain for him and his kind. Don't turn into one of these turds.

 

Hit the nail right on the head.
No one likes big brother we have enough problems with him already.

 

A bit stalkerish

 

WTF? Strong arm a little old lady? She'd bury them in the back yard before giving them to you.

 

just steal one and leave a pile of cash laying there with a set of eyeballs on top of the cash.

 

either way, problem solved!

 

Another typical story. They probably want to get rid of them but have no earthly idea of what they are worth. Which means they would rather they sit there and rot away vs getting srewed out of a few bucks. I truly beleive that is why those people will not sell.
Answer..........Steal it!!!! or wait for the estate sale.

 

Wow, there's a lot of douchebags around this here thread. What happened to respecting someone's wishes? Put yourself in her shoes. No means no, means fuck-off.

 

I'm not sure if I should feel offended or disturbed...

I guess I'll have to settle for feeling disturbed enough to be offended...watch too many Quentin Tarantino films, have we?

 

You could always just seduce her.

 

we have threads on this forum where people have had things stolen..and tons of HAMBers get pissed off at the theifing..
A car or a trailer gets stolen and we band togeather to try and help find the stolen object..
A swap meet vendor gets pilfered for thousands of dollars worth of items..and we get pissed and try to help him..

but one lady says NO to a rusted out body that she dont wanna sell ,,that is rightfully her's to say, No I aint sellin it..

and we get HAMBers on here advocating to go there and steal it?
WTF? people..where are your values for other peoples property..
all I can tell you is ..Dont..Dont step one foot on my property....ever!
dont even talk to me

 

I was hoping he was just joking, 'cause if he was serious...

 

there was more than one ..thinking this way

right at the bottom of the page ..in a forum that they joined are these words

I think he was refering to the new(ish) GEICO Insurance commercials - someone gets startled that there is a stack of money with a pair of eyes watching them, and someone else comes by and says "what, thats the money you COULD be saving with GEICO Insurance..."

 

NOW that makes sense. No less disturbing, but at least I have some context now.

If someone tells you NO, then say thank you and move on. There will always be more cars, more parts, more people. Losing your integrity for an old car is just sad, heck, losing your integrity for anything material isn't worth it. She didn't want to sell the cars, for whatever reason, going back isn't going to make her change her mind.

Not everyone can be bought...move on.

 

Bottom line: You're probably not getting the trucks. Second: this thread is ridiculous and done.

 

Mottsrods....
if that was supposed to be a JOKE.... Well, I guess I dont need to throw my match on this flaming pile. Respect the old gal's right to say "NO". and find a less rusty ride somewhere else.

 

think twice about taking what is not yours..you might meet up with granny's 12 gauge..and than what will happen to your stuff?
maybe while your taking what isnt yours..Karma will come a callin, and take what you hold dear to your heart..

i wouldnt even joke about stealing

im going to treat this thread like a used condom...flush it!

 

I say mail her a letter with your contact info and a note. maybe send along a before and after pic of something you rebuilt. tell them you would pay fair market value for whatever she wanted to sell.

she's probably had a bunch of lowballers come and bother her and shes sick of it.

 

I think your mistake was not showing up with a 12 pack.

 

You are joking right?If not your an ASSHOLE

 

perhaps the old gal's just tired of everyone fuckin with her! its her shit!!

 

To all those who suggest trying to "hardball" her into selling stuff she does'nt want to sell, Well,,, the next time you have a thought--- Let It Go--

 

I know where there is a old Buick coupe in a barn, are you interested in that?

 

be polite- MAIL her a letter apologizing for your TRESSPASS and just make it known that you are interested should she ever change her mind! If your not gonna do that I say leave it alone. I don't agree with threatening to call the city or state if you dont get your way! You know that little white speck on top of chickenshit? IT's chickenshit too!!!!

 

You made me have to wipe spit off my monitor...

...and as for this thread:

 

This is still going on?................Close it PLEASE!!!

 

If ya did that to me I'd back over em ALL with a track hoe right in front of ya....

Dont listen to that guy....

 

keep politely stopping by and asking her if she would consider selling....until she tells you never to come back or....sells them too you. Dont be a dick to her or get upset with her. Just be cool.
