I brought the truck with me and the box it came in because that is what I carried to the races. I opened the box, took out the receipt and showed him that I bought the truck from him about a year before. I then placed the arms on the counter, told him to fawk off, and walked out.
I never went back and to my knowledge, the ass-hat died of a massive heart attack not long after. |
funny thing is all the money to be made in the hobby world is in the nickel and dime stuff
