No Monster of my own, but my wife has an '09 696


WWW
« on: August 08, 2009, 04:56:54 PM »

In addition to listing my 2005 Monster 620 with 3900 miles for sale here, I posted it on TOB and Craigslist, where I specified I'm not interested in any trades. I've had some really amazing offers.

My favorite (so far) just showed up by email:

"i have an offer for your bike ... it is a 2000 pontiac firebird convertible with less then 100,000 thousand miles on it. I love this car never beat on it never did anything to hurt the car. it has a stage 2 ecu upgrade and a cold air intake... the only damage is a bent axle and a burst break line and the rear rim was bent. if you would be interested in a trade it would be appreciated i have wanted a bike for ever."

Despite my having said I wasn't interested in any sort of trades, I must admit I'm sorely tempted. What do y'all think? Should I jump at it?

Who? Me? Unpossible!

I know! The problem is, he didn't say whether he'd want me to throw in some cash along with the bike, too. I wonder if I should offer to trade both the 620 and my '04 BMW Z4 3.0. It doesn't have a bent axle and all the "break" lines and wheels are intact, but maybe he'd be willing to alter those to suit his preferences. I'm crossing my fingers.

I listed some guitar gear on CL and explained in my listings that I'm selling it all because I've lost any/all interest in making music (no trades). Every single item I listed, someone offered to trade some POS guitar junk in exchange. The best was the guy who wanted to trade the same model amp I was selling for one of my guitars.

Not responding is easier than getting angry. Stupid is only amusing for so long.

Only if you're sure that BOTH feet will land squarely on his chest, exorcising the stupidity from his mouth and nose simultaneously.

Wait a minute you guys. . .

this could be a deal worthy of posting in the Deal King thread.

If this car has a bent rim and bent axle without being beat on, imagine what would fail if it got into the wrong hands Evil

My brother just pointed out that "100,000 thousand miles" is a hundred million miles.

As long as it has less than that, I'm good.

laughingdp at that link!!

A sweet excerpt:

" Original ad:
I am a 18 year old looking for a summer job. it is hard for me to find work and I just want a job so I can afford a car for college next summer. I can clean, babysit, answer phones, pretty much whatever as long as it pays!!
From Mike Anderson to ***********@***********.org
Hey,

I saw your ad looking for work and I think I have a job for you! I am looking for an assistant on my farm for the summer. It will involve working outdoors. Let me know if you are interested.

Mike

From Stephanie ******* to Me
Hi Mike! I am interested in your job! I love animals and used to ride horses so a farm would be great! what kind of work would I be doing, and where is your farm located? it needs to be close to ******** so my parents can drop me off and pick meup

From Mike Anderson to Stephanie *********
Stephanie,

It is very close to **********. I'm glad to hear you are familiar with horses, because you will be primarily working with horses.

My farm gets all the old horses that other farms don't need anymore, and they are starting to take up a lot of room in my stable, which I want to turn into a garage for my new truck. Therefore, the horses need to go. As my assistant, you will be in charge of killing the horses and dumping them in the lake behind my farm.

I used to have a captive bolt pistol (cattle gun) that I used to put them down, but it broke when I tried to use it to tap a keg. You'll probably have to use my 12-gauge shotgun to put them down. Sometimes they don't die right away when you shoot them, and will start freaking out. You just have to stay calm and keep shooting. Don't worry, I'll show you how to use the shotgun if you aren't familiar with one.

You then need to use my chainsaw to cut the horses into smaller parts that you can carry down to the lake. It can get a little messy, so I suggest wearing some clothes that you don't care about, or some clothes that the horse blood would compliment.

The lake isn't mine, it is my neighbor's. He gets kind of angry when he sees me dumping dead horses in his lake, so you have to make sure he isn't around when you do it. I have some cinderblocks you can use to weigh the horses down so he won't see them.

I have a lot of horses, and each horse takes about an hour and a half to dispose of, so you should have plenty of work. The job will pay $15 an hour. When can you start?

Mike

From Stephanie ******* to Me
omg that is HORRIBLE! That is truely awful and sick!! Why cant you just give the poor horses away? sorry but I am not helping you slaughter horses!!!

From Mike Anderson to Stephanie *********
Stephanie,

I'm sorry if you are a bit surprised, but this is how farms work. You can't give away old horses, you have to kill them. I thought about it, and if you don't want to use the chainsaw to cut up the horses, you can just use my truck to drag them down to the lake. Do you have your license or permit? If not, this could be good driving practice for you. You don't want to pass up on this great job opportunity.

Mike

From Stephanie ******* to Me
No that is not how farms work you are just SICK! I am NOT interested

From Mike Anderson to Stephanie *********
Stephanie you are going to regret this some day when you try to get a real job. I think this would look great on your resume. :
