ChadTower:

Have any recently?  When something so unreasonable happens you aren't sure you saw it properly?

Yesterday a guy shows up to my house to buy a Neo Geo cab.  I told him ahead of time it had to come up the bulkhead steps and that I could supply a hand truck but he would need help.  He said he was fine with that. 

Dude shows up and is probably 150lb soaking wet.  He can't move this alone.  His help gets out of the car... and she is 8 months pregnant.  I almost choked the guy out right then and there.  In order to make sure she wasn't going to be involved in moving this thing I end up doing 90% of the work myself to get it out of the basement, loaded into their SUV, out of their SUV, and into their apt.  Now my back is killing me today.

I'm still in shock this guy would have his 8 months pregnant wife help him move an arcade game.   :angry: :angry:

Jouster:
Maybe they wanted her to deliver it early?  And you deprived them of that...some people.

shardian:
I think he brought her for another reason...one that you fell for hook line and sinker. ;D

ChadTower:

Primarily because the price I got was so good.  Had he paid less I would have just told them to come back with more help.  I didn't want this buyer off the hook.

CCM:
Why were you so against helping him get it out of your house and onto the truck?  :dunno

I've sold a few cabs and I've always helped load them.  I would never go to the buyers house and help unload, but helping at my house hasn't been an issue.
