Friend called and wanted my opinion on a loader he was looking at. These were my answers.

1. No, it is not suposed to do that, its broken. 2. No, it should have one.
3. Your not going to like that. 4. Your kidding, WWAAYYY to much, like 3x's to much.
5. I don't care what he says, thats BS.
6. If has 2 others lined up to buy it NOW, let them.
7. This guy is conning you.
8. He11 no I wouldn't, what the worst that could happen, you buy a better one?
9. I'd even bet ya 100 bucks it will still be the in a month.
10. No, I am saying, he is pressuring you to buy it right now. Before you have a chance to figure out just what its worth. If you buy it now, and its junk, your out five grand. You don't buy it, you buy a different one later.

Later that night I find out he bought it. Paid 5 grand for a small little loader maybe worth 2. But I doubt that, more like 1500. Rust-o-lum paint, smokes, no brakes. The paint wasn't even completely cured.

Then he ask me what I thought.

So, I told him.

We often have to take our friends with their warts, which sometimes includes them asking for experienced advice and then failing to take advantage of it. But if hope didn't overcome experience, there'd be a lot fewer marraiges.

DANG! He related to my BIL? He always buys for more than it's worth and sells it for 1/4 what it's worth because he wants to get rid of the POS.
