The fact that you are delivering it means you can always go back home with them, so no risk of a straight up scam but this sounds like he wants to try and low ball you once you get there. Too many people try to re-negotiate once you're there because they know you're likely to just want to get it over with. I'd make sure up front that he knows the price is firm and will not be changed.
Quoted from swampfire:This makes me sad, because I know those days are coming for me, some time in the next 10 years. I’ve always moved, torn down and set up my games by myself. I’m kinda proud to have figured out how to do everything so I’m not asking a neighbor (or god forbid, my wife) for help. But I used to take 6 games to our annual show (SFGE), and then it was 4, and now this is the first year where I’m limiting myself to 1 or 2. I just hope some younger collectors will pick up the torch and run with it.
Start lifting weights on a regular basis. Compound movements like squats and deadlifts. Best way to stave of this kind of decline.
I'm so much more useful as a human being when I lift weights, it's just sticking with it that's tough.
Here is some literature that shows how beneficial strength training is to ageing populations. I went to a seminar with these guys a few years back and seeing a guy in his 50's squat 405 like it's nothing is pretty eye opening.
