11/2005 AFTER MANY OF HOURS SURFING I AM RE-POSTING THIS TOPIC CAUSE IT WAS THE FUNNIEST OF 2002. IF YOU WANT TO LAUGH FOR HOURS READ THE WHOLE THING (MIGHT TAKE YOU AWHILE) ITS DEF. WORTH IT. I HOPE YOU ENJOY






There was an add in Newsday this week for a 97 cougar 550 with reverse with 200 miles... The guy was asking a mear $5,000.00 thats correct 5 big ones... So i waited a week and decided "hopefully this guy has figured out the sleds only worth half of that" So i ring him up tonight and speak to this lady... she was very nice and i explained to her that a 2003 ZL 550 is 5 big ones out the door... she agrees and says "people have been telling me that" I go on to say that high retail on the machine is $2200 and i think $2600 would be a more then fair price for the machine cash. She replies "well for 2600 i think i will keep it" i say no problem thank you for your time... and then it gets good.

Happy husband gets on the phone hehehe and it is obvious that he has no clue what he is talking about. He starts on a rampage... "The add said 5000 dollars not 2600 you beepin moron... if you want a sled for 2600 dollars then you should go to the beepin junkyard you cheap bas##rd. What kind of dumb ( ) )hole are you... why are you calling you beepin etc...

I listened for awhile and laughed afterwards i cant believe people where im from they have no idea

:D Thats hilarious .....lmao!!some people have no clue when you are trying to help them out :p

hahaha thats great ya guys im sellin my ext for 12g's its a steal!!! HAHA thats great that guy was off his rocker by a long shot!@!!! t :p

Its people like that keep life interesting. Good story.

WOW, someone got a steal with my 2000 ZL580. Sold it for $2500.

I am stilling looking for a good deal for my friend... at this rate i gues he could pick up a 94 puma for 2500 and he would be lucky hahheheh

i have a 91' lynx and it won't run yet should i ask 4000 for it HAHAHAHAHA AHHH people are such idiots sometimes. just thought i would add my peice :cussing:

Hey Powderboy, what is the phone number, I think a bunch of us should call him up and toy with him.

I already thought of that.... One of my friends called last night and told him he would offer him 1200 cash and that it was a good deal... he didnt even get yelled at... the guy just hung up. Maybe he lost his voice yellingn at all the other people who called and didnt think $5000 was a fair price

SO what are you saying, did ya buy it? :thumbsup:

Stop it your killing me, ROTFLMAO...

I would still like to give them a call. PLEASE, can I have it Powder?? :( ???

Yeah, I would like to have that number too. You wouldn't be violating any privacy issues, since he posted it in the paper. I'd like to call him and tell him I'll take it, and play w/him for a while. I would let him know that it's not a bad price since I assume he will deliver it to me in St Louis for that price, w/a trailer.

We get that kind of stuff all the time in the car business.

Well I dont know if that is a wise idee, however all you need to do is find a copy of Newsday.. Now that i think about it you can go to Newsday.com and get classified listings for Long Island... then you guys can do whatever you want..

P.S. I want reports hehehe :blahblah:

I've seen people ask to much but thats nuts. Heck that's what they paid new darn near. What fools!
Caleb

What a goof! If anyone gets this guys number, post it here so we all can have a little fun. ;)

Here it is, it took some searching but I found it.

4. ARTIC CAT 1997 550 Cougar, 200 mi, w/ reverse, $5000 631-555-5555(I MODED THESE SO NO-ONE WOULD NO BUT I PROMISE KEEP READING (THE ACTUAL PHONE NUMBER WAS PRINTED IN 2002 / 631-555-5555 Pub. 10/4-10/9
Mark Ad:

Just made my first call. ha ha this is fun. :D

I am sure someone thought i was joking around. Watch out the guy can be very irrate... hehehe 10 free posts to the guy who offers him $500.00 because he thought the add was a misprint. j/k hehehe wolfman and hohman are calling away hahahaha

You know, this is bad. We have 2 highly distinguished moderators egging this on now. Shame on you 2. hehehe :devil:

You guys are just plain MEAN, I love it. :thumbsup:

You know MXZ900, it all works out because if you look at the top posters for the day you can tell how bored I am at work.

I just got off the phone with him and I asked if that price was Canadian.

holy $%^&, he lost it.

I tried to tell him that I could by the same sled in canada for $3000 Canadian.

Then the told me that I could take my fake money and stuff it.

The last think he said was great though, he tells the that when the US invades Iraq, that Canada will be next.

That should be interesting.

Hey Phazerhater, could you please ask your pilots to avoid my house??

I just put a new roof on and I don't think my insurance covers acts of war.

Man, this guy is great!!!

Don't forget to visit the poll in General chit chat

You guys are right...this is fun. He told me he's had 5 calls so far, and he was offered $1500 and $3500 so far. I got him down to $4500 so far... what a bargain. I told him I could buy a new ZL for $5000. He asked me if a ZL has handwarmers, and I said yes, plus thumbwarmers are standard too. He said if I want to buy a new sled for that, that I should, but it's no Cougar w/reverse...duhhh!!! He said his daughter gave it to him for Xmas.

Here's the best part though, he told me that it "lifts up like a wheelie at 100 mph." He also said it is "quicker than a MACH 5, you know, one of those sleds with 3 spark plugs, out of the hole, maybe not top-end though." This guy is really out there. I can just imagine what it's like to be around this guy. I hope he never tries to trade his car or truck to our dealership. :D

Jim

call and ask if that 5,000 is canadian or american $.

LMAO!! This is great!haha I'm calling this guy as good as I get home.
Sounds like I should let me know that Canada isn't on our "hit list" also.
:p

I tried that and it made him so mad he is going to have Canada invaded.

Hey,

Can I be the moderator of the "STUPID AD" forum.

I could do this all day long.

Maybe that's why he asked me where I was calling from...told him I was from MD. 'Guess he doesn't want to have Maryland invaded, since it's a little close to him.

I am going to have my wife call him and record it then try to upload it and post a link. I never done it before so I will keep my fingers crossed.

No, he is worried you're the sniper, you should have told him you have some .223 caliber sniper rifles you want to unload quick. :D

Now you're talkin'! Watch it end up on the radio or something. LMAO!!

I just hope I can keep myslef from busting out laughing when I call this guy. All I have to do is start thinking about it and I'm giggling like a school girl, let alone when I got this dope on the phone!!haha
I wonder if he would take 1000 BD instead of US$$? He'd probably go ape!

If you can get it recorded, I can probably get it on the radio.

My company deals with Toronto area radio stations all the time.

I am going to send this to my favorite station's morning show host and see if they will call.

This could get really good now.

DP

PH, ask him what kind of trailer comes w/that sled. That ought to get him.

Phazer, just hold a rag in one hand and squize the hell out of it every time you feel like laughing, works for me.

Dpaige, if they call while on air, you have to record it and make it available for the rest of us...I love that kind of stuff.

or, "so does that $500 include the trailer? Oh, and do the handwarmers come with the sled also??" LMFAO!!

You know I just wanted everyone to have a laugh but boy oh boy i never would have seen this coming hahahaha... if he asks why he is getting so many phone calls just say "THERE IS NO SNOW YOU MORON" LMAO My buddies wont believe me so i am going to have to link them here. I like the thing about the ski lift at 100mph... WOW Can someone tell me how to make my pantera do that... why the heck did i spend $6500 on a ZL 800. truthfully though when i called the women said she spent $7200.00 on it new... I didnt doubt her b/c the dealer she bought it from is a crook. Last year he was going to sell me My pantera for only $7200 and he would be generous and throw in a cover. He also wants 7400 for an F5. Do you know what is really sad... people pay it everyday and i just shake my head

Hey Jim,

I promise to record it.

I just sent the email to them with a bit of background.

The morning Guy, Dean Blundell is orginally from Saskatchewan and has made some reference to sledding in the past.

We will see what happens.

DP

I want notification 1st when you get it hehehe :devil:

I couldn&#39;t resist. I had to call him one more time before I left work. I asked him all kinds of serious questions, seems like a nice guy at first then I asked him if the pot o&#39; gold at the end of the rainbow goes with it and man, did he go ape##**.

tell him your calling on the two sleds he has for sale and if he would sell only one for $2500 ( only in New York) I can say that because I grew up upstate!!!! Now I live where people throw things !!!!

evil evil evil LMFAO

Just got off the phone with him. Get this, I couldn&#39;t get the dude mad!! I was trying like crazy to get him to go off on me and still no go, he even wished me luck in finding a sled and called me buddy when he hung up!!haha
This is long, but you all wanted a report, so here it is.

Hi, I&#39;m calling about the sled you have for sale. Just wondering what condition the sleds in to be selling it for so cheap.
The sleds brand new and only has 200 miles on it and I&#39;m ony asking $5000 for it he says.
$5000? Is that a one place or two place trailer it comes with?
What trailer?
You&#39;re asking $5000 US for the sled and trailer aren&#39;t you?
NO it&#39;s just the sled, no trailer. But it does have reverse and handwarmers for both hands.
Realy, warmers for both hands? What a nice feature. Will you drop the price if you keep the handwarmers? See I have big gloves and don&#39;t need them.
No the warmers have to go with the sled.
And does the trailer come with it too?
NO! there is no trailer! Where are you calling from?
Grand Forks
Grand Forks Michigan?
No, grand forks, ND
You would be better off looking at a sled there.
So was that a typo in the add?
What do you mean?
Did you mean $500, because I would be willing to make the drive for $500!
No, it&#39;s $5000. My daughter paid $7200 for the sled and I&#39;m goign to sell it for what I think I should get for it. I&#39;ve had all kinds of people calling me telling me I&#39;m asking too much for it. I would just assume keep it in storage for when the snow flies.
Oh, I forgot it was a new sled. $500 is a little low for a 2002.
2002?
Ya, the sled. Or is it a 2003?
It&#39;s a &#39;97.
OK so letme get this straight, you want $5000 for a 1997 sled? I thought you said it was new?!
Well, it&#39;s like new.
So what kind of performance does this thing have?
It will do 104mph. I weight 207 pounds and it will do 102 with me on it.
Have you ever raced any other sleds?
Ya I raced a ski-doo 770 and whooped his butt! They do better in the open and I do good up close.(Uh, OK!!haha)
So what kind of ski-doo was it? Was it one of those machs?
Ya, I used to own one. (puts phone down, honey! what kind of shi-doo did I have? Was it a mach 1 or a mach 5?) Ya, I owned a mach 5.
Do you still have that, or is that included with the &#39;97 cougar for $5000?
No, I sold that for $10,000.
Did you sell that with a trailer?
Look, I gotta go buddy. I wish you luck in finding a sled up there.
OK, well if you ever decide to sell you POS for a reasonable price, I have $500 cold american dollars ready for your sled. Heck, I&#39;de even give you $700 canadian if you would deliver!
Later buddy. *click*

That&#39;s about the jist of it. I almost feel bad now because he didn&#39;t hardly yell at all. You all wore him out!! :p

You guys are hilarious!!!!Someone should have PM&#39;ed me so we could have got a few more mods in on this... :devil: :D

You guys should have your own show where you phone up people with stupid ads :)

You guys are pesking this poor yank to death. Next thing you know he is going to keep the thing and ride it himself.

Granted 5000US for a 97 Cougar is a little on the extreme side.

God help you all if he reads these posts!

newf SWRules

PH, who&#39;s on second?????? I thought he was on third!!!!!!!

That was pretty good. Wish you could have recorded that one. I really liked the part about leaving the h/warmers off. He never got angry with me either. You know, if he sold that Mach for $10,000, maybe I should call him and have him come sell cars for us. Obviously he knows how to get top dollar out of items. :p

Can&#39;t wait to hear more...I just might have to call him again too.

Newf, I guess I better change my ID then, huh? Somehow, I think the only computer this guy might have is a Commodore 64!! And he&#39;s probably willing to sell that for about $2000.00.

Oh that reminds me. When he was talking about how he sold his mach "5" for $10,000 I told him I have been looking all over the place trying to find one of those. He said, yup them are hard to come by these days. I said you sure are correct there, they are VERY hard to come by!!hahaha



Last edited by phazerhater at Oct 9 2002, 10:32 PM

You are very right they are hard to come by... I&#39;ll bet he did sell it for 10,000... after all that must have been a rare prototype hahaha you guys are killin me with this
i have to call back and say remember when i spoke to you and you yelled at me... well i take full responsibility for all the calls you have gotten .... that would really get him back ... i love it guys

I just spent the last 15min readin this and pissin my pants laughin :0:

It was so funny too, he sounded just like I had pictured. Sounded like an 80 year old redneck, new yorker, with throat cancer. LOL :p

Now I&#39;m thinkin&#39; I maybe should have not dug up the phone number. If he is an 80 year old man, he may get so stressed out tonight he&#39;ll have an attack. :(

So, when does the invasion start???

I am hoping they setup a tank battalion or a Fighter squadron here.

I can see if my dad will move his plane out of the hangar at Grimsby airfield so they can store and F-16 in there, or an A-10 would be cool too!

Heck, you can part a M1-A1 Tank in my garage, my neighbours would really like me then.

I sent 2 emails to the edge102 morning show guys, begging them to call.

I even told them to use the trailer and handwarmer gag.

I don&#39;t know if they will do it but if you are interesed their website is edge102.com and you can listen with their internet radio feature.

The show runs from 6am to 10am eastern time and I know I will be listening.

If I get a response from the I will let everyone know.

Hopefully if the radio guys call him they will be able to get him more fired up than I could... :D

Ohhh, guys, poor guys, don&#39;t you have anything better to do than call some old man who wants to get out a bunch more money than it is worth, who happens to be 1000 miles away? Shame on you all for intruding on his right to waste money for something that no one wants to buy for that price. I hope that you all learn a lesson from this expierience.


PS: I also think it was funny as h#@% ! :withstupid:

you guys get in to more trouble.. but it sure is funny this guy sounds kinda out there.. thats just so mean of all you to go and call him and pick on him but i just LOVE IT!!! but if he were to read this.. he would go off on us all

Yeah, ummm there this guy in WI who is trying to sell a 92 ext--- LOL Just kidding. Man I busted a gold ball reading that. You guys have waaaay too much time on your hands. LOL. Kevin

This has got to be the funniest thing I have ever seen posted on snowmobileworld. This is even funnier than the picture of the two pumpkin people flashing in the front yard. Thank you guys for calling this guy, you have made my day... When he gets on his Cougar to come north and invade canada, it will be just like the John Candy movie Canaidian Bacon.

I read this thread this morning and knew it was going to be a doosy but boy i never though it would be like this.
Caleb

Where is Paul Yarek when we need him.

We have to get him to call, I think that would be awesome.

Man, I feel like I am in middle school prank calling people.

It better bloody snow soon or the rest of the world is in trouble.

I guess we could use this if they try to ban sledding anywhere.

we could just say "If you ban sledding look what will happen!"

Now my girlfriend thinks I am crazy, laughing at the computer.

Oh well

I know i was at work today laughing my ( ) ) off and i am pretty sure everyone thought that i was certifiable... everyone must have heard me... I couldnt help but reading on and on and on

ya this post really took off i didnt think it would go this much but it did and its just as funny every time you read it

We should have a "classic topic forum" for these to go in and read when you are bored. I could laugh all day.

Ok here&#39;s what you do. call him up at home at 2:30-3:00 in the morning and ask him about the ad. that should really rivel him up and get him going. you gotta play it like you really want the sled and think that its worth that much...I&#39;m sure that will really ge him going.

Thats going a little overboard... after all you started this mess Waitingfofwinter... all this looking for a sled and you get me on the phone with some crazy ( ) ) hole who wants to bomb canada... however look what fun you started heheheh thanks johnny :devil:

this has to be the the best post yet i can wait to call this guy and offer him 5500 if he holds it till next week for me. :doh:

how about 6000

you guys better watch out he could be a retired Post Office employee!!!!!!!

I just called again and as soon as I mentioned the snowmobile he hung up on me. The nerve. ha ha :devil:

Does that mean it&#39;s not for sale anymore??? I&#39;m sure he&#39;ll think long and hard about what to ask for it next time he tries to sell it though.
Poor guy.... :blahblah:

I think we should do this once a week!

There is always one ad somewhere that is just completely ridiculous.

A guy in my neighbourhood has a 12 aluminum boat that looks like it was attacked with a ball peen hammer but he still wants $1700 or best offer. Motor not included

Although sooner or later someone will take it too far. That person is usually me so I am going to stay out of this one from now on.

Do you think a cougar would play nice with my bullmastiff??

DP

I swiped that one from the Deviantart website. Check the place out. Lots of interesting stuff in there.

well guys i just called, and some lady picked up and said it was sold. im kinda mad i was looking forward to a little phone war myself.

SN double O P / 2 PAC - 2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted

HA HA I tried to call too and some lady? said it was sold.We will have to find someone else to pick on.

Donovan: whats your neighbours #? We can target him next :devil:

For some reason I get the feeling that they are bluffing and still have the sled..... ;)



Last edited by phazerhater at Oct 10 2002, 07:33 PM

I agree w/ you 1000% phazerheater, I know that they havent sold it, no one is that stupid as to buy it. and whoever did doesnt deserve to be sledding! $5000, haha I would be LUCKY! if i could get that for my 01 mxz!


SN double O P / 2 Pac - 2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted

Man, I should give you his number.

The guy called the city bylaw on me and had me fined because my dog was barking.

The only problem is, I have never even heard my dog bark.

I tried to explain to the bylaw officer that bullmastiffs don&#39;t bark but they didn&#39;t care.

He is angry because he feels having a young single person in his neighbourhood will devalue his property.

When I moved in he came right to my door and told me that the people on the street would not put up with any shenanigans(sp)

Just wait &#39;til is snows when I start doing heal clickers over his rock garden.

He even called the police and said there was a biker, possibly one of the hell&#39;s angels living on this street.

I ride a bloody Ducati.

Boy sounds like a real :cussing: of a neighbour.He needs some fixin I think :devil:Am I ever glad I live in the sticks :D



Last edited by LadyK at Oct 10 2002, 03:59 PM

Yeah, the only problem with people like that is you can never win.

If something goes wrong everyone will take the side of the 70 year old retired doctor over me.

I spent 4 years living in a dirt hole 1 bedroom apt. so I could save money to buy a place like this and I thought the problems would stop.

I haven&#39;t really figured out the rest of the neighbours yet.

We could use the lawn for grass drags but the lot is only 530ft long.

On one side is the lake and the other is the service road and then the QEW

I don&#39;t think either will work for the shutdown area.

Hey, PowderBoy, keep an eye on the paper, and if he lists the sled again, we can do it all over again :D :D :devil:

By the way, my wife won&#39;t let me buy a 2 year old edge 600 for her... she said she is saving her money for a cougar. I was thinking about this post over breakfast this morning, and I started giggling, and she thought I was off my rocker, so I had to show this post so that she could deem me sane for the day.... she still keeps shooting me funny looks every now and then.

:D

I&#39;m glad I didn&#39;t read this at work today...I would have laughed myself out of a job!

Man oh man.... trust me there is now way he sold that machine... There are some dumb people on Long island but not that dumb

ENJOY

Sounds like a skit from Bob & Tom. Great stuff!

wonder if it was ever sold,,,,, you outta hit a phone booth and give him a call again to see!!!

Jeff, I cant even see bob and tom doing that one!!!

That is some funny stuff.

LOL! I should sell me Z 440 for 11 K, and get an Apex mountain. LOL!
