Sparty is a not so happy camper right now.
I went to pick up the XL125 today. Got to the owners house and she met me outside. I had the cash in hand and my buddy's pickup truck. She told me that her husband decided that the price we agreed upon wasn't what he had in mind. I asked what he had in mind and the price doubled! Then she told me that they couldn't find the key. I know that I was visually upset and told her that I would like to talk with her husband. He was at work but said she would have him call me this evening. She said that her husband had spoken with a collector and he said that he could get more $$$ for the bike. Then I said, okay, let me tell you this, I bought a 1972 CB750 in very good and running condition for less than you are now asking for this bike. And this bike hasn't run in three years and needs work. Tell your husband that any collector will never pay his new price if the bike isn't running. Tell your husband not to bother calling me, I am no longer interested since you and your husband can't honor the original deal.
So about a half an hour ago he calls me and wants to talk. I said, sorry I am no longer interested, I thought that we had a sale but then the price doubles! You must take me for a fool. I think that is rotten, so forget it and even if you drop to the original deal, I still don't want the bike after the aggravation you have caused me. I am not sure which “collector” you spoke with, but he or she has no idea what they are talking about. Your damn bike doesn’t even run. And for all I know it may have a blown engine. How can I be sure you were honest with me from the start? Good luck selling the bike. Goodbye.
Man, some people need a slap.
