The stupidest hick in all of WV! Turns down $1k+ for seat!

Let me tell you a story! The absolutely dumbest hick in all of WV! Bert Meadows of rand was selling a set of red front seats on Facebook for the price of $200. I saw them and immediately messaged to buy! The drivers side had one blemish that my lower passenger side piece could replace. They are still up, it's Monday, He says "got a guy coming Wednesday to pick up". So I offered $400. He said "I already told the guy for Wednesday". So I offered $600, he looks, no response. So I offered $800, and said just tell him you didn't know and your wife already sold them. they are for my dad's truck I have looked for 10 years for a set in about 15-20 junkyards in 5 states. Both of my parents are gone, this truck means more to me than anything. Name your price you got it! He looks no response! So I said, ok I have a 1995 ford thunderbird super coupe with all the bolt on hop up parts, 18" infinity wheels, and a set of headers I haven't even put on yet, even trade for the seat! Bert Meadows of rand wv the stupid hick writes back "ill let you know if he doesn't take it". So I asked Bert if morals stood in his way to just give me the other guys contact info and I would offer him the same offer that stupid was refusing and he didn't have to even be in this, but backwards hick bert wouldn't relinquish. So maybe the other guy would have really liked that coupe more than a seat? But Bert killed that too. Is this most stupid person not only in WV, but possibly the nation? $1000+ for a front seat or a limited production car with over $6000 in bolt on hp parts. For a seat! Let's give Bert a thought on this. Oh yes, and he really likes the stars and stripes if your profiling. My main goal on this was to save my dad's truck, that I still have it's window sticker, by any means or cost. And this man destroyed it. Name that price or a car for a seat and iq50- turns it down. Let's hear some thoughts

We need more people like Bert, and if you're willing to

(pay)$1000+ for a front seat or a limited production car with over $6000 in bolt on hp parts
then advertise that on marketplace... Hell someone might trade you their whole truck with good seats

Where I am from, that is called integrity, and it can’t be bought.

I wonder how you would evaluate his morals if you had been the first to contact him then someone else talked him into selling the seat to them for more $$$

It's good to know that some things are still more important to money to some people. Chances are that if you haven't been an *** to him, he'll put you in contact with the buyer and you can offer the new owner $1K for the seats.

I'll bet Bert would be 'stupid' enough to know this forum is about diesel engines not seats.
