What if it Snows?

Found out something interesting the other day. We make a few products for “retail” store. One of the customers is Lowe’s. Was inside at the receivers office. Just outside the office was a number of home appliances, specifically two refrigerators. They were taking the box/packaging off of them. Both had big scratches on one side.
They marked them down 50% from retail store price. As a joke, I said I would give them $300.00 for the one. The department manager was standing there, asked if I was serious, he could make that work. I said no, had no space on the truck for it. We started talking about this, he said make a reasonable offer, and you probably will get the item. It was. $1500.00 unit marked down and he would have taken $300.00 for it, brand new still in the plastic. Said they do it all the time.

. I got a claim opened up but can’t seem to get anyone to write an estimate. The people came to visit 2 days later (don’t know why) nice enough peeps the girl that was behind the wheel is really smart she is working on her masters at U.of Michigan. This was supposed to be a driving lesson. She stomped the gas thinking it was the brake and panicked. She is from Uganda and has never driven. She might never try again it rattled her pretty bad.
