What happened was:
I put the rpund up for sale on here and had 3 people interested. When Plum-brain rang I described the nature of the round and I told him there were others in the frame (which there were) but he begged me not to sell, so I put them off, stupidly, narrowed my odds. Did him a favour.
Anyway, I arrived at the meeting point and washisface got out of his car when he arrived, the first thing he said was 'This is what I want to do'
And I thought, 'Oh really? You doing the selling are you, or is it me?'
He wanted me to give him the cards and work the round without parting with any money, no nothing, nought, zilch, booger all. So he could disappear of the face of the earth.
He obviously didnt want to have anything to do with any of it as he didnt even want to drive round the round, let alone call on the custys to be introduced. He wasn't being serious.
Still despite not being serious he still wanted to play games and pretend by trying to knock my price down. At 2 times and at at least £35 an hour I wasnt budging, especially as Id been doing the custys, they were long-term, loyal people, for at least 10 years. He had a bargain. But didnt know it.
Anyway I had someone else interested and so told him to forget it I would sell to the other guy. So off I toddles and calls the other guy to confirm he is still interested. He is.
Half an hour later plum-face calls up and begs me not to sell and that despite our difference of opinion earlier that evening he'd come over in 3 days with the cash and the deal would be done. So I says like a fool, okay.
Monday turns up (the day of the deal) and ol' plum-brain doesnt appear, no sign of him, no word, no call nought. I call him and he says, 'Deals off sorry' and puts the phone down. How rude, insolent, inconsiderate and plain ignorant (so sue me plum-face).
That IS what happened.
