So one of the people that contacted me privately about the trooper asked for my # to discuss it on the phone. He acted ok, and only wanted to know a few things.

Two days later, he arrives AT MY HOUSE uninvited, and tries to lowball me on the trooper- conniving and manipulative doesn't even begin to describe that person. He seemed pretty bright, so he probably has lots of friends. Totally determined to get me to cave and accept 1100 for my trooper (my selling goal was around 1500) and he wouldn't take no for an answer.

Finally ejected him from my property- and he got angry at that point. I don't like being insulted on the base of my ethnicity. I am not going to name names, but if he has the coconuts to name himself, I might actually have a shred of respect for the nebbish.

Trooper in question is no longer for sale. I can deal with it as my daily driver and backwoods duty vehicle for a while more, and I hustled enough cash in the meantime to keep myself afloat for a while. No need to sell it to a north end of a southbound prairie dog.
