[QUOTE="EricGorr, post: 217551, member: 19611"] P_Taylor, yeah thats a beauty but I witnessed one that tops all the consignment stories. When I was a teenager working at a boat shop, a guy brought in a boat for consignment. The salesman moved it fast and the guy paid $18,000 in cash. This dimwit salesman gets the bright idea to take the money with him to Vegas so he could "win a lot more" then pay back the 18K. Well as you can probably guess he lost all the money and the business got sued. Moral of the story...If you bring your bike to a shop for a consignment sale the odds are that it will get stripped for parts or sold for cash and the big excuse will be "we had a break in and your bike got stolen". Workin in the Chicago motorcycle scene for 20 years as a mechanic, I saw that happen way more times than I care to remember. The funniest one happened at a shop that I worked at in a western suburb that was the notorious home to many mafia guys in the 70s. One time this wise guy's snowmobile got sold and stolen under this scenario and the guy came in with 2 guns and a bad attitude. Guess what happened? He left with his money! Good for him! But there were just as many guys who left down and out. God I loved the 1970s!:eek: [/QUOTE]
