reminds me of a guy at hamvention.had a very big,heavy,dead battery filled ups.like about 500 lbs worth.i made him an offer on it.his marked price was something of a crackheads dream.
he goes into a long tirade about how he would haul it back to california first.he got so wound up in this he forgot that me and several others had items in hand ready to pay for them.
later that day(sunday) he packed up and left the ups and several other items that he would have sold if he had checked his attitude at the hara arena gate!i got them free.

Not sure if they were all hot air or not. They looked like the would do it tho.
