He got tired of me trying to negotiate and put it in eBay where it sole for $10000 over what he was asking.
I passed up a metal gas can Saturday at a garage sale because the guy wouldn't come down any. He wanted $20.00 which would be a steal these days, (had a vent too) but he had lost the cap that goes over the pour nozzle. I might could have made up something or found one but I let it pass. Should have grabbed it though. We get all rolled up over a few dollars when we need a friend to tell us "that's not enough to get upset over, buy it!"
