So, long story short...

The Ratt made the mistake of

Not getting more money out of the "Big Fish" I had on the line.

My Advice to You is

Take what you can, and give nothing back!

Here's the whole story

So I went Garage "Sailing" this weekend like normal with Captain Crobar, and I found a set of golf clubs I liked that were nice, and hustled them off the guy for 10 bucks. Which is dirt cheap for the kind of clubs they were. I didn't intend on playing them, I just wanted them for aesthetic reasons. Then two garage sales later, I saw a guy looking for clubs and I told them I had just bought some, and that today was a good day for looking. He then insisted on seeing mine, and I told them they were not for sale but I would show him. He immediately offered me 60 bucks cause I told him I got them for thirty just trying to deter him, and next thing I know Im selling them to him for 70 bucks. So the moral of the story is, If someone driving a lexus is wanting to buy something off you that you bought at a different garage sale 15 mins earlier, start the bid a $100. I so could have got it. call it a finders fee if you will.

Hustlin' Clubs. Always hard to feel out what people will pay till you put a number out there.

A 600% profit in 15 minutes. I'd say that isn't too bad of a haul.
