I hear you on that one. My alarm bells would have been going off too. Especially already knowing what I know. I would have had him crapping his pants shortly after hearing the so-called bs. First off, if Newell was willing to give you that much, then he is only a few hours from Newell, take it up there and pick up the check. He may have paid around $70k for it and put a few bucks into like your saying and wanting out of the deal. Realizing it's not his cup of tea and that you best have deep pockets or you are a DIY guy to own a Newell.
Also, that should be the earlier number coach as it has the early dash. You know what I would do to that coach -
Of course the monkey pirates would think I was crazy!
