How do you persuade the boss

[Dave2]

Jayz/PFM/Frank:

Obviously you are more successful then me because you guys are better at persuading your respective bosses in accepting a deal (buy or sell).

This is an offer in trade for a property I am selling I received a few minutes ago ( Interested in trading it for a longhorn truck? ) but I will not pass on the comments I received from my boss.   Some issues with price but I will ignore them for purposes of this discussion. 

My question to you smarter guys is how do you do it?

[Pfm1011]

Got divorced.....Now there is no more arguments...

[Dave2]

An effective solution but rather drastic and could be expensive.

[Pfm1011]

expensive as hell....but priceless

[Dave2]

Actually I thought the longhorn truck might have a place in Tax Sales

Get the longhorn cattle horn accessory for the front hood, wear a Stetson, cowboy boots and other suitable clothing
and carry a big wad of bills you know 2 hundred dollar bills surrounding monopoly money and scare everyone off.

what year is the longhorn truck?  i had 1970 chev

[Dave2]

Didn't get into the details but I believe relatively current vintage.   If I am not going to proceed with a purchase offer I don't want to raise buyers hopes unnecessarily.

I have done this long enough I should have a feeling by now if an offer is going to fly and my boss has say in everything I do.   She keeps the books and wants cash or equivalent (e.g. vendor takeback Seller's  mortgage if we sell a property.)

Of course it does make things easier with Revenue Canada although I don't like it when they take their entire tax cut right away even if I have only received partial payment in cash.

If you want something priceless how about a used boeing 727.    I just got offered one.    I don't why they approached me.   There are a lot of people more successful then me on tax sales.

The person who offered you the Boeing 727 may not think your tax sale trophy as valuable - somebody asked me 10 grand for a Boeing 727 last year, seriously.

  If they would let you cut it up for scrap, where it sits, could you make a profit?

Scrap does sell anymore. China is at trade war with the US so taking scrap no more.

[Jayz]

I mean doesn't ... It didn't allow me to modify for some reason.

Ernest Bidder /Jayz:

This is worth much more then scrap.  Part of several pages of details
