Default When restorers hit the wall

I was and probably still am the biggest collecter in Northern Alberta from lamps to construction equipment .Try this on the won't sell guys . Get the largest dollar bills you can get .I use to get $1000 bills but now it is hard to get $500s .I play with them all the time I am talking to the guy .When the deal starts to fizzel I slowly start putting the money in my wallet .When he sees the money disappearing they might change their mind .Another one that might work is Trading . Find out what he likes and get something that he might trade for .A lot of the old fellows don't need money but might like what you could trade him . I agree alot of the old guys like" museum"buddys .Trust has alot to do with it .I had a young fellow that wanted a muscel car that I had .He begged me for a year . When I sold it to him for $1500 because that was all the money he had , I later found out he sold it for a hansome profit less than a year later .So guess what the next buyer was told . I don't bug guys much but sometime its a good idea to keep in touch as soone or later it will be sold
