Recently I got several jobs and job offers and am willing to share in my good fortune.
I visited a relative last week, told him I was cleaning out a barn,
garage and house and planning on taking it all to the dump.
He insisted I allow him to do it and he could take all the "antiques"
and metals and sell them for a profit.
I agreed, on 2 conditions:
1- he drop his truck and trailer off and I would fill it (as I am being paid by the hour)
2- he mail all the coins at the table in front of him ( a stack of $1 coins, worth $1/each) and a few jars filled with older coins, to my sister whom has recently
taken up coin collecting.
At first he balked, and asked if I knew how much the coins were worth?
Having no idea, I said "I have no idea."
He agreed. I said I also have some work for him to help me in the barn restoration project coming up in 4 weeks if he was interested in making some money.
Later near the end of the week I called him to bring the truck down and asked for
the tracking number of the coins he sent to my sister.
He said, "$hit, I sold them for $125.00" Why would I send them to your sister?"
I hung up on him after saying the deal was off.
At the metal buyer I recieved a check for $600+, at the antique dealer I recieved a check for $1,200 and at the dealer of old wood products/restoration dealer I recieved a check for $75.00. I signed the backs of the checks and handed them to the home owner.
2 days later I found out she had called a friend whom is also in need of my services AFTER I fiinish restoring/cleaning her house, barn and garage and insisted I work for her.
peace,
