    Got lucky getting Titan over the net but had to laugh an hour later after i gave them the cash, when i phoned the lady back to ask a couple questions and heard the husband in the background freaking out as i guess the call bothered him? :loco: :crazy: I just hung up.
    Another reason why i dont do much internet deals.:cheers:

    I run a dumpster business. This last spring had a couple hunting friends looking for used lumber for tree stands.
    I had a couple deck jobs that were pretty clean ,, no extra trash in dumpster. Brought them back to my yard and dumped out back. Friends pussed out on taking it. This fall needed to go. Advertised it on MP and was sold in hour. Next day it was gone.

    You have to use some "Common sense". Remember the phrase; If it sounds to good to be true, it probably isn't!

    I’ve had good luck on Marketplace. I’ve seen the $1000 tractors. Never tried buying one LOL
    As others have said you can check the profiles, past sales. Those tractors and ATV’s usually have a business name attached with address. Google earth will tell you that business is in a 4 family house in some of the worst neighborhoods around. Only a fool would fall for that.
    BTW, any northern Ct scroungers on here? Bunch of Black Locust wood popped up in Somers 25 minutes ago. If I didn’t have my hands full with other things I’d grab it but,,,,,,,it’s all yours.

    I'm one of the least offensive people you'll ever meet. My intention was never to offend anyone. :tears: Not how I roll.

    Oh heck no. That is just not true, not even a little bit. In fact the implication is offensive... :headbang:

    I find it offensive that everybody is just looking for a reason to be offended anymore! (not kidding)
    Irritates my last nerve.
    Just like with plenty of other things this year, seem like maybe there is a participation trophy shortage this year too...o_O :rofl: :lol:
