Cash baby!!!!

[Nellie Wilson]

Dang, that don't look too good. Then again, depends how far it's migrated... and your resources for metal replacement. Maybe figure your R&R costs and deduct that amount from price? If you really love that bus (sounds like you do) things might still work out.

Depending on the situation, maybe this old fella would let you perform repairs right there, in the barn. You could camp out in the bus... which you're eventually going to do anyway. Now that I write it, sounds pretty cool... hey, I'll come do  it!

I think you should PM me your route, time schedule, amount of cash you'll be carrying, how many people will be with you, what weapons you may have at your disposal and any martial arts you may be fluent in. Or just the old mans address

This old man's name would no be Jack Lxxxxxxxxxx would it.

It is a cool bus, but I have become quite dispassionate over the past year and a half and am willing to walk a way from trouble without much hesitation.  According to Gary LaBombard, that is an enormous undertaking which he has done himself.

That is not bad or hard to repair the other photos show that to be a solid bus Call Sonnie Gray there no structural damage there I can see Sonnie could make short work out of those.Fwiw if there is no bow in the floor above the cross member in the front the rest of the front cross member above will be solid keep in mind you are dealing with a NJT Eagle 20 not a Belgium built 05 two different animals here

good luck

Old saying I just made up ... "A man cannot steal your goat, if'n you don't tell him where you tie it up at night."

What is a little rust between friends?

Well things are looking up on this bus.  After several Eagle guys put their heads together, it seems it might not be so bad after all.  I am back on track for the purchase unless Sonnie says it's worse than we think.  Is it okay to be excited yet??? 

[Chopper Scott]

You worry about some thief trying to steal all that cash, don't let the cops know you have it either. I have heard that they can and will seize it if givin the opportunity. I read somewhere that someone spent over a year trying to recover cash intended for a similar transaction. Seems the cops thought it was drug money and even though this individual had no record or was ever involved in such activity the cash came up positive for drug residue or something of that order. It seems a lot of cash can test positive for being involved around drugs. I like  wiring the $$ to a bank better. You can go down and complete the transaction.

This thread kind of split in two directions, didn't it?  Just talked with Sonnie Gray, he said the bus is not bad at all and that he wouldn't be afraid of it.  As far as I am concerned it's a go...

Now... Where should I hide the cash?  LOL

Hide it in an old envelope, on the dash, and write how much money is in there in large black letters .

Before you go, contact the state he is in & the state you reside in & find out what is required to prove ownership. If he can provide this to satisfy BOTH states, then it should be safe to proceed.

Find out what bank he does business with. Open an account there with a transfer from your bank. Take the seller there to complete the transaction.

As for me, I don't like carrying much over $500 to buy anything. Hard enough to remember where I put the keys . . . .

A friend worked at a luxury car dealership, one Saturday afternoon a couple came in to buy a $45,000 car. They paid in cash - mostly $5's & 10's with a few 20's. Turned out they owned a chain of laundry mats & had made the rounds that morning emptying the bill changers!    The dealership was so nervous. They had never seen that much cash before as everyone else paid with notes or checks or credit cards.

Wrap it in paper & alum foil then plastic. Then pack it in ice in a cooler label as "Caution, BIO HAZARD". Make sure the package is labeled with "Samples from AIDS patient"
That ought to keep people from messing with it.

How about wad it up in a couple of diapers rolled up and taped into a ball like they were used.
