[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1453178, member: 4362"] Makes you want to choke him doesn't it?!?! I used to buy from a guy and I'd place my order up front so whenever he passed my place he could just dump the hay rather than carrying it to his barn. I'd pay as it came in. Even let him use my equipment to save him trouble. A drought came along and he said he had me and another guy covered since we were his core clients. Between us we bought 800 rolls from him. No hay showed up and the drought had made hay prices increase substantially. He then told me he didn't have any hay to sell but because the drought had just done him in. I asked my wife to call him and ask if she could buy some hay from him. He didn't know her nor her number and he told her he had plenty to sell but it would be $10/roll more than I had traded with him on. That is the moment I got in the hay business but I learned real fast everyone isn't like me and that I didn't need to be in the hay business unless I wanted to go to prison for killing someone so I stopped selling to the public. Chevytahoe, I've only got about a year of hay business experience under my belt but if half your customers were similar to mine I don't know how you do it. Another thing I don't understand, and maybe you can answer this for me, how in the heck does someone all of a sudden run out of hay on Sunday? It seemed to always be Sunday and it was always an emergency. Know what I mean? [/QUOTE]
