[AT] Duplex Truck Company

[Cecil R Bearden]

It has been my experience that when I nose around to find out about 
equipment that has been sitting for 20 years or more, within a week it 
is hauled off or sold.  Move quick.

I once bought a MF2155 about 3 miles from home.  The lady wanted cash as 
she was selling it for her mother.  I gave her a check and she said that 
she would take it to the bank and cash it and it would be ok.  That was 
at 4pm on Friday.  I did not go after the tractor as I was trying to not 
bother my wife with giving me a ride to get another tractor.   I hooked 
my trucik up to the trailer and went by the station to get gas and while 
pumping gas i get a call.   The lady asked if I wanted her to tear up my 
check or come get it.  She said that my credit union would not cash that 
check in the drive thru.  She also said that a guy was on his way with 
cash. I told her I would have to call her back.   I called the drive 
thru at the credit union and asked the teller about cashing a check in 
the drive thru.  She told me she was  there the night before and no one 
showed up to cash a $2000 check because she would have to approve it.   
I hit the gas and got over to the tractor.  No one was around so I 
loaded it up and went home.   I got a call from the lady about 30 
minutes later asking if I had the tractor.  I said yes.  She said she 
was going to call the local police.  I told her to go ahead because she 
had my check and I had the tractor and the check said payment in full.  
I also informed her that I had made a call to the Chief of police as I 
had his cell phone number.

I learned a few new cuss words that day.   It seems that this guy with 
cash had offered her $750 more than what she settled on the day before.

That is the norm around here.  It isn't yours until its on your trailer 
and you are on the public road.
