Is it the buying season?
Had two people drive by and noticed Larry's Fordor in my garage today and wanted to buy it. Is this common?

Just people that want a closer look! In reality not serious buyers. Everybody likes looking at olde cars. Wayne

Re: Is it the buying season?
after people watch Pickers and Antiques road show, they think everyone is giving everything away for free..........
that's my take. the next time, ask them what they want to pay................ probably get some mumbling and I'll get back to you. |

Re: Is it the buying season?
It would have been all up to Larry....seems two people in one day for Bart and no one ever stopped for Sarah.

Re: Is it the buying season?
No worry Larry, whoever breaks into the garage to steal Bart had best bring another carburetor, I took yours off....................

Re: Is it the buying season?
there always is "stealth" mode
when the thieves roll it out of the garage in the middle of the night and onto a trailer, just up the road................ |

Re: Is it the buying season?
Somebody told me years ago that if you want to sell an old car,park it somewhere with just a part of it showing.Tucked in the bushes,behind a house,kind of in a spot where somebody will drive by and a passenger will holler,did you see that old car in the bushes?I park one of my cars in a shed at another home I own about 3 miles from me.The shed is on the side of an old state highway,and if I'm there working on something I will leave half of the door open.3 or 4 people will spot it and stop,most want to buy that old junk car to build a hot rod out of.I've never had any interest in selling it outright,but if somebody stepped up to the plate I would sell it.I had a Worthington tractor I wanted to sell,it had the 32 Ford grill,hood,and partial cowl on it.I advertised it,and got a few calls,but when I tucked it in the bushes a couple of hundred feet down my driveway folks poured in when they spotted that grill shell.

Re: Is it the buying season?
And people will become even more interested if you tell them " this car is not for sale to anyone at any price".

Re: Is it the buying season?
I had some stationary engines inside a locked barn, and got a call from some guy in Iowa wanting to know if I would sell them? I should have taken his information because later they were stolen.

Re: Is it the buying season?
Well, he knew where he could get them since you didn't want to sell them!
