    I've got one for ya:
    Bought a van.. Had a 1.5 year old battery in it.. With a 3 year no questions asked replacement warranty.
    I get about $12 core for a battery where I am
    So Being that it was a $100 battery, I tossed it on CL for $50 FIRM

    Guy calls me and asks me if it is "Good" I said "Yes, charged and tested" It works great!
    He says- I'll come down after work
    Guy shows up and uses a coat hanger to test for spark. Sparks great!

    Guy passes and says "But don't core it- I'd give you $30 bucks for it"
    I said "Nope- it's a $100 battery that works fine"
    He says: "Well I'm just concerned if it has frozen while it sat"

    I said: "It was charged and tested- it is fine"
    He says: "Well If you'll take $30 for it at some point- call me."

    I'm pissed for the waste of time.. So I take a few days to ponder it- went another week with dillholes calling and offering to trade me X-Box Games, Subwoofers and other crap. I thought- "Well $30 is better than $12" so I called the guy back and said "I'll sell it to you for the $30.. if you don't come and get it- it goes to Core this weekend"

    He says "Great- will you take it to Autozone and have them Test and charge it for me?"
    I said "Nope- no time for that" He says: OK I'll be down after work.

    So he shows up- hands me $30 cash and says- "I'm going to Autozone now- if it doesn't test good- can I have my $$ back?" I was at about my wits end with this clown. I said "Sure" since I knew it would test fine.



    The AGONY.. the SHEER AGONY of dealing with @ssholes like this makes me never want to deal with human beings.. for a good long while!

    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
