CHEAP people....let's see your stories about those frugal folks that were smart or really annoying!

This story may not be quite what the op intended, but here goes.

Back in around 2015 or 2016, I had a coworker who had a couple of fox body Mustangs and a bunch of parts he wanted to get rid of. He had asked me if I was interested on a couple of occasions and I told him I would like to see the cars first.
He said that the cars were in his dad's backyard and that he had to let his dad know before I could go see them. Finally after about 2 months he told me to come by that weekend and I would be able to check everything out.

When I got there, he had the 2 Mustangs, both 1983 GLX models, both t top cars, basically complete, one had a 302 that he thought had a bad cam, plus a 351w on a stand, a freshly rebuilt set of aftermarket sbf heads, a pile of miscellaneous parts, wheels, tires, etc, all for $500.00. Then his dad came out and said he would sell me his 1991 GMC 3/4 2wd pickup for another $400.00. I drove the truck home with a load of parts and had a buddy come down with a deck truck to haul the cars to my house.

2 hours later, my buddy phones and says his son wants to buy the truck so I sold it for $900.00, now I have 2 cars plus a ton of parts free! Over the next few months or so I got the 302 running perfectly, firing order was wrong, and sold off pretty much everything, made about $5k profit.
