I talk to people.
they aren't for sale. I stop in and persuade them to be for sale.
I'm a Jedi....
seriously tho, I actually have to pursue these things...the red one here, I had to look up the guys number via some internet sources I have, and I found his OLD phone number, he doesn't have a "landline" anymore he has a verizon wireless and I found his address via some stuff there, so I stopped out and left a message there and he should get back to me. it's at the place he's renting from, they lost his # and are also looking for it and he explicitly discussed selling it for the price I anticipate getting at with the person he's renting from.
and that's an easy one.
thats how i bought my Eliminator. saw on the side of a guys house. went to the door and asked if it was for sale. he said no, but when i said i would give him $900 for it, he changed his mind.
