Many years ago I went to a house to pick up an old jigsaw I bought from a guy in the want ads. When I got there he wasn’t home so the lady of the house opened the garage door and there was a complete TR-3 with the sliding windows, everything. Very dusty. Leather in great shape.

Of course I asked to look at it and she says, ‘Sure!’

I said you wanna sell it?

Yes!

How much?

$1500.

$1500? Does it run?

Runs great.

She started it right up. So I go to my car to get the checkbook which, I found out, I had left at home. I NEVER leave home without my checkbook. So I said I’ll be right back with my checkbook.

‘OK. I’ll get the manuals and gather up whatever else we have (like the tonneau cover). Etc.

So I run back checkbook in hand. Knock on the door. Lady answers.

‘Sorry. Not for sale.’ And she glances back at her husband. ‘We changed our minds.’
