quote:OK so my question is DO I buy it??
No, you do not.
Well, sort of, yes, you do. but...
You act as my agent and I purchase it for $5000 as it sits; I can wire you the money tomorrow. You then arrange closed transport, at my expense, to my home in California. I give you a finder's/agent fee of $1000.
The older man is happy to know his forgotten, neglected car has a new, loving owner, you have $1000 for a couple days of your time, and I have a major problem with my wife who wants to know just why she now has to park the mini-van outside in the driveway.
Everyone's happy but me, but I'll deal with it somehow.
