I stopped right there.. Sat down called the man, he was pizzed I mean. I told him what this fellow said and just want to hear him.
He was MAD I MEAN.. TOLD ME TO STOP right there he would have his father in law put a check in the box for the half i did.. He told me he HAD owned a restraunt in town.. Told me names of people I did know. I checked and he was a business man here, they talked pretty good of him... I called him back" applegized" for the call but I had to know and i did find out.. Thank you for half the money.. I understand you being mad we talked a bit..
Next day there was a check in the box for half, he calls me later that day says. My father in law said you did a good job I want you to finish it..
I found about you to what kind of man you are.. Let's just start over and you finish the job.. ok hot damn.

OK my mind is thinking, guys I like to make money and can make money. I buy something on Craigslist I re sell it a month later.. I bought a car on there paid $3,000 sold it a month later $5,5000...I make alot in my job each week been here 32 years.. I make about that and more each week on the side cash money. one job i had to give a W9. My job we work 12hr shifts. 14 days a month. Im off alot of days. Money motivates me you get out you a can make it..
Most of mine is manual labor, mowing, washing hauling but hey its money. Jobs some people don't want to do..
hey pay me I will do it with a big smile.

So I say,, Sir I live about 4 miles from this house  I pass by it about ever day. Its a neat 2 bedroom big yard fenced in back. All wood floors its got some history in this older home. I SAY Sir if you let me show this house put my phone number on the sign. If I sell it you give me 2% cash commishion.
I will put it on Craigslist.. He thinks about it and says OK I will do that IF YOU FIND A BUYER..
In checking he bought this house 6 years ago for $86,000.. Now is is asking $110,000
He told me $100,000 is his  bottom dollar... I bet he gets a 95K offer he will think..

So now you know the whole  story....
