Another Craigslist crack head....

Been looking for a 12" Commercial grade meat slicer......and not one of the cheap knock offs. One shows up on the Wenatchee C/L. 170 miles one way. Call him up. Is it complete? Yes. Came out of a friend's butcher shop in Tennessee. Guy on C/L said his buddy just got tired of dealing with the 100 pound slicer that we are going to look at. Snowing when we go to leave. 3+ hours later we are in Wenatchee. Box is mangled. Blade sharpener is laying in the bottom of the box, busted into a dozen pieces. Pull the phone out and find a $140 replacement. Seller says he will take a couple hundred off. Plug it in...motor runs, blade don't. Seller says make me an offer... thanks but no.
Spend some time chatting with him. He is a coon dog hunter. Knows...and doesn't care for....the breeder of our pups. Also is good friends with the folks that will be selling us a Bluetick Coonhound....small world....what a day....
