I called about a Farmall 450D that showed up on Craigslist on a Sunday night about 25 min after it was listed. Pretty sure I was first caller.
Guy I talked to didn't live where tractor was and said he would call me back about when we could meet up. Hadn't heard anything by tues afternoon, so I left him a message. About 4:00 or so his brother in law calls me back and says he will meet me out there. Told him I could be there in an hour, but he wanted to do it wed evening 5:00. Fine, I'll be there.
Pretty sure you know where this is going by now, right? I've got trailer hooked up, tools, etc, and a wad of cash ready to go. Phone rings at 4:15. Says tractor sold, dont bother coming out.
Told him I was pretty sure I was first caller, and that I would have been there the night before if that's what he had wanted. I guess the other guy just went out and looked at it with nobody there and called back and said he'd take it. Didn't bother arguing with him, as I'm pretty sure it would have been pointless.
As a side note, I have bought 2 other tractors off of the list, and those went well.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
