#21... If you try to sell a repop as original you will be forever labeled as a thief.

#22... don't ever label or describe something as one of a kind or last one in existence. You are wrong...always wrong

Don't be pushy, rude, arrogant, or a know-it-all.
Always come back if only to say hi. People are more important than stuff.
Take a truck, tools and cash.
If you are dealing with a man...carry a pretty girl with you that can carry on a conversation and doesn't mind getting dirty.
USE COMMON SENSE. If you don't have any...stay at home.
A really good "picker" is a rarity. I am taking about someone that can relate to most people and can find something in an area that you have been over 10 times. I have only seen a couple in 30 years.
