I put my Subaru and 57 Dodge truck in the paper last weekend. $140 worth of well-written ads and not a SINGLE NIBBLE! This resulted in all sorts of soul searching, with me wondering if placing my order before lining up sales of the old vehicles wasn't among the stupidest things I'd ever done.
But this morning on the drive to work I tuned into a radio flea market on a local station. When I got to work I dialed, and dialed, and dialed. Finally got through as the very last caller of the show, described the Subaru (could only list one vehicle at a time) and just a few seconds after hanging up the phone started ringing!
The very first couple to come for a look this afternoon took it for a TWO HOUR test drive and I was simmering, sure they had used my gas for a free trip to the big city for a shopping spree. But they finally came back and handed me a check for the full amount, no haggling involved!
So Nugget is half paid for already and I have a month to sell the old Dodge truck! Woohoo! pb |
