I never stop at yard sales. If I need a lamp I go buy one from a store, but I laid down twenty feet of brake marks on a side road after spotting a green mini bike among the decor in a front yard. I jumped out of my FJ and headed straight for it. The hand written tag said $20. Awesome right? Well not if you are not carrying cash and people are stopping at this place left and right. The mini bike is a K&S Hornet Model MB-80C made by K&S Manufacturing Company in Fort Worth, Texas in the early '70's. All original, but missing the recoil starter off of the H35 and the torque converter cover. The metallic paint and cool tape stripes that were used by K&S had me drooling. So what do I do?
This is what; I asked the owner to hold it until I get back from an ATM and the answer is "can't hold anything"... Okay, now I'm thinking I have to race to the ATM and back asap before this thing gets claimed when I remember I had a $25 Wal-Mart gift card in my wallet. Haha! I felt a little emberresed, but I offered it and he said, "sounds great"!!! He told me that his wife spends all of their money at Wal-Mart anyways and he looked at it as making five extra dollars. I was glad we could make a deal.
I'll post a pic when I get to my Mac.
Sure do wish I could post pics from my iPhone.
