I am selling this welder
* Location: perris ca
* it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other
commercial interests
******************************************
I dropped him an email, he emailed back his phone number....
I called...and we chatted. Its in perfect condition..and couldnt
understand why people were calling and offering him $300 and $400.
After I made it clear to him...I suggested putting the real price he
wanted ($4500+) and putting it on Ebay with pictures. He had a hard
time understanding why pictures were important....but I think I got it
to sink in....
"why do I need pictures? Its big, its gray, its a welder"
Blink blink..nice guy..but I suspect he has been welding in closed
spaces far far too long......
Gunner, who would love to have a 500 amp diesel welder that weighs
3000 lbs....just for the Uh UH! factor.

"[L]iberals are afraid to state what they truly believe in, for to do so
would result in even less votes than they currently receive. Their
methodology is to lie about their real agenda in the hopes of regaining
power, at which point they will do whatever they damn well please. The
problem is they have concealed and obfuscated for so long that, as a group,
they themselves are no longer sure of their goals. They are a collection of
wild-eyed splinter groups, all holding a grab-bag of dreams and wishes. Some
want a Socialist, secular-humanist state, others the repeal of the Second
Amendment. Some want same sex/different species marriage, others want voting
rights for trees, fish, coal and bugs. Some want cradle to grave care and
complete subservience to the government nanny state, others want a culture
that walks in lockstep and speaks only with intonations of political
correctness. I view the American liberals in much the same way I view the
competing factions of Islamic
fundamentalists. The latter hate each other to the core, and only join
forces to attack the US or Israel. The former hate themselves to the core,
and only join forces to attack George Bush and conservatives." --Ron Marr |
