I still don't see the point of the original post, clever story, but....

Anyone ever see the movie 'A Beautiful Mind'???


Seriously, I am sorry to hear someone played you like this. It is quite an intriguing story.

Marlin,
Sorry for your inability to comprehend the meaning to the post which included the word "thought", as in "think", maybe I can devise a way to re-post using picture signals so you can grasp the concept of the similarity of the unfortunate events that occoured to me as could anyone else. Even though I was not relieved of actual cash, being an accountant I would hope you can understand the concept of "opportunity cost". Six weeks of wasted time and effort as well as financial expenses could have been better spent in a more productive way. It was not a total waste however, you finally managed to make my short list should I ever be diagnosed with a terminal illness. And to think I saved you a lot of grief by not giving your phone number to the owner of the 68 Z ragtop after you spouted off the prospective selling price in public which was either a lucky guess or you heard it from the one person I mentioned it to off line who I considered a friend. Are you ever going to start minding your own affairs or is your life so boring you would have nothing to talk about. Do as you wish, just stay out of my business, for the better of all...

I'm trying to 'imagine the scenario' there Moby, but what exactly are you trying to say? If the 'scenario' is true, isn't it just another day in the life of a high powered musclecar broker? I would also think that with your connections with the IRS, the FBI, the CIA and the local Harley club that you would have prosecuted this guy already - what's taking so long

Marlin,
IRS? FBI? CIA? I would think you might consider having your shrink increase your daily dose of Prozac. Looks like owning your Taiwan based Nova has finally caused you to snap!

You must be forgetting your first call to me where you tried to impress me with your occupation; 'IRS Tax Avoidance Division', or something like that. Remember my reply? 'So, a half million other people work for the IRS as well'

So, what will you do with this guy who causes you to write with such angst?

[MotownMadman]

Marlin,
That explains your intrepretation of our conversation. I did say I made a career of IRS tax avoidance, being an accountant you should know that "Doesnt everybody?"

WOW !! What a topic. I have close to 3,ooo e-mails since january 2004 on muscle cars. You want to talk about wasting time( this is why the collectors hire me),I get tire kickers and picture collectors everyday! I'm sorry that sometimes I get a call from a real buyer and I have a little attitude, becuase 10 calls before him were a-holes. I lost some nice cliets im sure this way or when you don't give a vin # or owners phone # after two minutes on the phone. I try to select the right buyer for the seller.
I'm sure I have worked with about 10+ or more of these type of guys who want a serious Muscle car(200K + dollars) and even tie the car up for weeks to find out the buyer is not buying and then lose the car to a real buyer, who is not kicking tires.I loose !! This is ALL part of the job as they say !! High profile car broker. Believe me its a kick in the head but like they say: Climb back on the horse and try again. It really stinks to put all your time into these people but it comes with the turf.Then I put a killer deal together for some lucky clients and I know why I do what I do. Please call me if you still have a list of rare cars, I might have real buyers for some of those cars you thought you were wasting your time on !!! Always looking for Rare Muscle cars
