I am a bit touchy right now because yesterday I had a
very unpleasant phone
exchange. Typical story, guy buys a few pallets at auction, and finds in
this case some old macs in with the PC stuff he wants. He has, once it is
cleaned up and checked out, if it is as he describes maybe $400 retail of
goods. He doesn't just decline my very fair offer (about $150 for the
curious) in light of the actual untested pile of stuff on a pallet
condition, but tells me he will just throw it in a dumpster if he can't get
a retail price. Ignore the fact he paid 3 cents a pound or $20 a pallet,
and wants me to buy the part he doesn't want.
This is the worst kind of asshole and I've encountered them a few times.
I can't understand what goes through the puny mind of someone with this
sort of attitude.
