When u have no time to fix

He is very frugal. I can’t see that happening. I’m trying to convince to sell them off. He can rattle off what he paid for this or that.
i know a guy like that with motorcycles (and scooters). has or had one of everything and knows off the top of his head what he paid for it, when he bought it and what the current market is.

only problem is stuff that sits, while it does appreciate, it also deteriorates. attempting to explain that to him was an exercise in futility.

case in point: he had a bike that i was interested in. current market for them was something in the 10~12K range (very good survivor v restored), so we'd been talking about it awhile and i knew the condition-- it'd been sitting since the late 70's. i offered him 3500 cash and his retort was that it was worth at least 9 because [reasons] to which i said: it needs everything, it doesn't have spark, and there's no title.

obviously, we didn't work out a deal. about two weeks later i picked up a tatty runner the same year, same model, same color with a *perfect* tank, new tires & tubes, and fresh tags and clean title for 5500

his bike? still sitting there, rotting.
