I have a wheelchair/cargo carrier, a regular wheel chair, and the power wheelchair and power lift up for sale on fb marketplace.
A prospective buyer from Alabama called me this morning and wanted one of the wheelchair carriers. They left somewhere in NE Alabama, up around the Ft. Payne, Sand Hill area at 9AM, expecting to be here by 11:30. At 12:10, they called and said they were at Northside and I-75. Because I had to leave for the meeting, I had already loaded up the power chair onto the power lift. So, I told them to just meet me at The Galaxy Diner and I'd meet them there and buy their lunch.
My ads stated that the cargo carrier required a 2 inch receiver and the power lift required a 1 1/4 inch receiver. When we finished eating, we went outside to do business. He asked me how was I going to get my power chair back home. Told him they sold only as a pair. Then I realized that his Durango had a 2 inch receiver and my power lift was the 1 1/4 inch receiver.
We finally got that sorted out. He was wanting the other carrier that was still at my house. I then offered to reimburse him for his lunch. $40. What? At The Galaxy? Most of us eat a good meal for about $10. But I wrote him a check and went back to talk to Maria to see if there was some kind of mistake, while the buyers waited on me. They were to follow me home to see the other carrier.
Maria told me that the husband and wife each ordered a double order of biscuit and gravy with country ham, two coffees, two drinks, and two glasses of orange juice. And they bought a Tshirt for $14.
So, when we got to my house, they decided to take the carrier and we hitched it up. He then asked how much I wanted for it. I told him I would have negotiated down $25 or $30 dollars, but after paying $40 for his lunch, the price was firm. He gave me the cash and left happily.
