While looking at Craigslist over my morning cup I spotted an ad. for
1000bf of walnut. I called the guy. It turns out he is willing to let
the lot go for 600.00. Off I go with my trailer to inspect it. It
looks great 6 to 8 foot boards 4/4 4/8 . I ask about the price and he
tells me he is moving and he starts to add things. 300bf of 4/8 alder,
3 sheets 3/4 baltic,2 sheets 1/2 baltic,1 sheet 3/4ply, a set of alder
doors to a entertainment center. He tells me he just wants to see it
go to someone who will use it.
That would be me!

My wife has all kinds of ideas, I just finished explaining why I would
need a 8 inch jointer to make her a fine walnut hutch. Now I just need
to find a deal on one.
Until then how does a new bench with the base made out walnut sound.

Better deal than the one I looked at a while back! I found an ad for some
oak and walnut boards some gent was selling, asking $300. Went over and
looked it all over, he wandered off so I had time to measure it all up. I
figure it was worth $150 retail at the local borg. When I tell him he wants
too much he says he has another pile of lumber in the garage that goes with
it, so I check that over! Oh goody pineywood twoburfours, and a couple of
2X6'ers too! I was doing a remodel at the time so I could sue them. It
brought the retail value of the deal close to his asking price. I offered
him a $100, but he said he had a guy coming the next day that was gonna buy
it all! I left him my phone number, but he never called back. Pulled in some
sucker no doubt!
I wondered why he did not show me all the wood right away! I think he was
trying to sucker me in!

"you suck" doesn't even begin to cover this one. I wonder if it was his
wood he sold you...

I mean, "you suck" is good for "gee, I wish I had stumbled into that and
had had the cash". This is more of a "I'd sell what I had to to get
that deal" kind of deal, which may in fact go beyond the standard "you
suck".
Anyone have suggestions for an uber-suck term?

Sort of like Aggravated Mopery except that you aren't required to
exposure yourself to a blind woman.
Outstanding snag, Ed. Simply outstanding - enjoy it!

You'd figure that some of that supermegasuckage could be put to work to

BBW
Years ago I learned how bad I am at computing bf. I took a 6ft by 6in
1in board and put it to bf. When I'm out in the yard looking for wood
I can come pretty close to bf.
This guy had plenty of money and I think he just wanted his garage
empty. Out here in Az there are plenty of folks who think old wood
should be sold as antique wood and commands a premium. Same with
their rusted craftman routers and saws

He is an ER Doctor and he was offered a 2 year position in NY City. He
said he had to leave immediately and had no time to sell it. We
started talking, I'm Marine and he has a son in Iraq. He gave me all
his wood, I tried to swing a deal for his jointer, he laughed and said
his shop was going in storage, he plans on setting up shop again.

Sounds like a waste of walnut, unless it's my bench.. lol
Save the ends cuts and odd scraps, they're probably good turning blank

You are right David. "You suck" seems hardly adequate to describe this major
crime. Perhaps we need a new term to describe these mega deals.
