I totally dig the get off my lawn grumpy old man thing though
Man crush?
Several years ago I repossessed a heat and air system from a dead beat that knew the rules/laws. He wrote me a check and then stopped payment on it. He told the judge that he was expecting some money and would pay soon. After a month I had to take him back to court. Any way I finally get a writ of repossession. This took like 6 months and a bit of money.
So I just put the equipment in the back storage. About a month later a guy called me and said that he was having a problem with his a/c. He said that he lost his job but was working some temp stuff to keep his bills paid.
His system was junk and not worth fixing. So I told him that I would install the repo system and when he got straight he could pay me. He asked me how much he owed and I told him to not worry about it until things in his life were good.
Several months later, probably 8 or so, he walks up to me in in a Lowe's or home Depot or something and hands me a stack of cash and says thank you for helping me when things were bad. I started to count the money and he said that he was sure that it was enough and to keep the extra.
He covered it and then a generous amount more. I felt guilty for taking the extra but he would not have any part of taking it back.
I usually don't lend with the expectation of getting it back. But then again I don't lend to just anyone.

Tomorrow Ill ask if he owns an IOR scope.
Yeah, but in hindsight, the plastic woman that @Tucker301 has stashed in his upstairs hall closet is probably 10 times the looker that his new girlfriend is. Fuk the pics.............
You and I can be friends.
I say if you loaned him $500 and never saw his dead ass again... it's worth it.
Tell him you will collect for a hefty fee??
Other - It's a fucking Nigerian Prince.
Ask for a recent photo if you're still interested. I'm not here to judge.

$500 pssssh.
Last week my sister in law calls my wife for us to buy 30 acres of flood plain for 100k so they could purchase a pos house on a hill 36acres for more than they could afford an additional 250k.
So we go look at it and the land they want us to get is decent and we could start a nursery on it.
So I tell the sil we will purchase 60 of the acres and that will bring the cost of the house and 6 acres down to what you still can’t afford so at least when you foreclose on it we get to keep the property.
She says that they have to have more land than that andwerent interested in the house any way they just liked the land which they wanted us to purchase. This is to say she called us up so we could purchase 100k of land that they could enjoy. What a nairobian!

He wants a wedding gift. Maybe another 500 ? Then again I would be suspicious about this wedding.

I've been known to lend money to people I know will end up avoiding me. That is the whole intent on my part.
After 4 pages of posts I just read, I just want to know the end result at this point.
Platonic divorce. Paying to end a friendship/association.
My bet is that the is angling for a wedding gift. We sent invitations to people we didn’t know.
So you run a pawn shop on the side?
Tell him his bride to be should square things away.
Anytime I've helped someone out by buying their gun they all seem to think I have to sell it back to them. Life is better with few friends.
I had an idiot friend that borrowed $125 many years back. Never heard from him again. Best $125 I ever spent.
Shade it any way you like.
This
Is the very definition of pawnbroking. The only minor difference is that you don't offer the pawned item for sale. You just either keep it or use it as trade fodder.
Not saying it's right or wrong. But it fits the definition to a T
Hallelujah.
My dad always said “don’t ever loan anyone anything that you ever expect to get back”. Yea, I fucked up and loaned a buddy in the Corps money. He said his pay was messed up and had not been paid for I think 3 months. So, I helped him so his truck would not get reposed... Turned out he borrowed money from a few other people too... Man, I felt like a fool! Since then, I have helped many people... with zero expectation that I ever get repaid.

Cost me $12,500. Check was dated 2011.
Still comes to family Christmas.
Co-signed student loan.
So.....I didnt even believe it was going to get this retarded. Gentleman, I present to you, the 2 texts I woke up this morning to. Had to copy/paste and email it to myself from my phone to get it on here.
Him - OK there was also an ulterior motive for me contacting you yesterday and I know you knew it!!
Him -
I’m going to tell you the truth even though she’s probably gonna kill me for saying this!! (Not really!!)
The girl that I’m dating just bought a building because she’s opening up her own agency for political analyst!! She lives in North Carolina and she has investors but with everything that she had to pay yet she had to pay more taxes than anticipated!!
So it went through all of her savings!!
And in order to open the agency and to get the rest of the money she needs $50,000 to open the agency and once it’s open there are other investors but they will not invest unless it’s open!!
So I’ve been trying to look for people that would invest that type of money and she would give it back in a week with interest and she would double the interest and you and somebody else are the only people that I know that would be able to afford that!!
That’s the reason I contacted you yesterday predominantly and I’m sorry I didn’t say anything before but I was embarrassed because of my situation with the money with you!!
And the reason I asked you if you liked Obama was because Obama is investing millions of dollars into her company after it’s open she just needs to open it and she is short $50,000!!
We have everything here - begging for money, a totally obvious scam, fucking Obama, out of state person he's 'marrying', millions in supposed investment but just need that last 50k.....wow, I'm just waiting for them to send me a money order thats too much and for me to send them the remained back.
Its like a nigerian scam, white trash extravaganza. I don't even know how to fucking reply to this.

Let me know if you would like me to go check out this "business". I'd be happy to investigate. Haha
That is one fucking serious twist to the story. What a douche bag, WTF!
Im thinking I'm going to ask for investment materials and see what comes out of that lol
I also see 2 different scenarios;
one is that he is part of a bigger scam and doesn't even really know it and the girl hes marrying who is in NC is some online bullshit con artists targeting stupid men with fake pictures and a bullshit fantasy of how they'll get rich together (this was way more prevalant in the 90s with yahoo chat and shit like that)
or this girl is totally invented; I just cant figure out why hed make her be in NC and a political analyst (who needs her own building?) and then mention Obama knowing that he is one of the people on the planet I cannot stand at all.
Doesn't make sense, or at least its not well thought out. So its either some fat ass in a trailer in NC scamming guys with pics off of twisty's hoping theyll get people to send her money, or its a half assed scam he came up with, but some parts of the scam completely dont make sense.
Soooooo, are you going to invest? Sounds like a sweet deal.
How does one get in on the ground floor.
Yes and no. I mean ANYONE can figure out some sort of scam; question is will it work.
The things that make me think its not him running the scam is the mention of NC (why?) and Obama.
He knows me enough to know that I fucking HATE Obama, that I basically dont fucking believe anyone and that I'm entirely too smart to fall for something that on the surface already looks like a total fraud.
You should tell him you'll invest, then overnight him a big FUCK YOU note.
Ask him what she'll do for $50,000...
Just cast my vote.
Your name looks familiar; did you used to buy a lot of WW2 K98 sniper stuff?
