I made a deal with a guy in Fresno to buy his Sing Along. Rented a pickup truck the night before. Called right before I left for the 6 hour round trip to have the guy tell me that he just sold it to someone else.....sorry.
I understand the "first with cash on the glass" take, but we had talked the night before and it was too late to leave, so we agreed on the following morning. He said "It's yours" and gave me his address.
