I have NO idea about many of the awesome rides I see on this site but when I spotted this while driving past a "flea market" (relative term used by them) this afternoon I had to go back...a little bit of haggling and voila! Tank has some holes in it on the other side and it needs attention in spots for sure.

Thanks for the info. It will get some help in the coming months...but I have a bunch of stuff ahead of it and I'm working a HUGE score of 80s BMX (if I can convince my wife-LOL)

JoeyMac- it came out of downtown Waterbury, CT!

Oh, and since you asked so politely. It was marked $95.

I said "what's the best you can do?"
Him- "Make me an offer"
Me- "I don't want to insult you"
Him- "You never know"
Me- "Forty bucks"
Him- "I can't go that low, you from NYC? These things sell on ebay for three hundred, etc, etc (you guys know the line)..."
Me- "I'm from Connecticut. I like to rebuild and ride and that thing needs lots of work"
Him' "Hang on and I'll ask my partner"

5 minutes later 2 kids come out and they tell me $50. I said I'd think it over. As I was looking at it more closely the little girl came back and said the price changed to $45.

Me- "I'll take it but I have to hit the cash machine-LOL Here's five to hold it and I'll be back in 10." I went and switched my little company car to my SUV and hit the ATM.

Thanks again,
J
 
you sir did very well, nice haggling skills. :) i would have paid the $95 if the price was firm.
