I put an Ad in my local paper. Next day this guy rings up and says he has a machine I can pick up for $100.00. I was so excited I didnt even ask what it was. I go around there immediatley with a trailer and there it was. His story was that it was hit and miss as to whether the thing worked or not from one day to the next so he wanted to get rid of it. Worked fine for me for a month or so, then this.

Wow that's an amazing story, you should be stoked!!

I agree with Andrew, some people just attract bargains, it's an unexplained phenomenon deep within the universe LOL!!
You know when I was younger and right into Harley motor cycles, every enthusiast in my chapter always dreamt that one day they'll stumble across an old neglected vintage WLA Harley sitting in some old man's garage somewhere.  I guess it's no different for us pinheads now :)

Come to think of it if you hadn't put that advert in your local paper that machine may have eventually ended up at the local tip - nice save ;)
