1/2 funny ebay story ....

[redbenjoe]

a few hours ago --a bidder from michigan wins one of my 'smaller' ebay grails -
so --i went to give it the absolute final test --prior to shipping it tomorrow --

a few moments later i get an email --

buyer says he is down here --somewhere in florida --
driving an 18 wheeler !!!!
and asks if he can come over tonight to pick up his box-

i say - sure --but that we cant even manage a 2 wheel bike around this trailer park-
never-mind his 18 wheeler

so --as soon as he calls from nearby --we are meeting at the local home depot

btw --he has a full load of CORN -- to bring back to michigan

 

[skippy1969]

Cool story!
Did he give you any sweet corn?

 

[blu_fuz]

Don't let him yank your cob.

 

[Superduper]

So..... since it's only 1/2 funny, how about the other not so funny 1/2?

 

[redbenjoe]

from now on --call me " InjunJoe "

i just traded my grail FOR CORN

the moral of the story is never trust ira with your box or you will end up with magic beans . or at least by some butter .

I hope you got many, many dozen in exchange for your JVC RC-656 Series 2...

 

[Superduper]

A 656? Didn't Ira mention the word grail in there somewhere?

 

[redbenjoe]

that sure was a nice 656 box --
miss it already :'-(

---but we were hungry and NEEDED the corn

 

[redbenjoe]

hoho --still picking the yummy corn from my teeth ........

other REALLY cool part of the story ---
is that it been exceptionally hot at nite down here --like in the 80s - YUK :annoyed: :annoyed:

when he opened the back of his 18 wheeler -
i hot hit with a screaming blast of 35 degree air

now THATS COOL !!!

Sounds like a CORNy story to me

[Reli]

So was he a collector, or did his truck's radio stop working

I knew it. I just knew Reli would think of a question that nobody else would think of.

 

[Fatdog]

Michigan, you say...

Does he know Danny from the UP?

 

[redbenjoe]

i was actually thinking that , too

[redbenjoe]

reli -- not a bigtime collector -
but alot like plenty of our members here ::

early 40s in age -
and used to drool over $$$ JVCs as a kid when he had no money

but NOW --
hes has acquired a bit of money , some JVCs and a full 18 wheels of corn

 

[Reli]

oh ok.....just seemed odd for an out-of-stater to do that...

especially for a pseudo-grail
