Hick had a customer at his SUS2.5 (Storage Unit Store 2.5) last weekend, looking for collectible stuff like old gas station memorabilia. Hick has some signs on the wall of his shop, but the good stuff he has at home, over in the BARn. Customer asked Hick if he had any old gas pumps. Hick said,
"No, but I know a guy who does. He don't have a shop, but I know he has a gas pump, and sells stuff like that."
Hick gave Customer the guy's phone number, and didn't think anything more about it. A few days ago, The Seller gave Hick $200.
"What's that for?"
"Thanks for sending me that Customer. He bought $4,000 worth of my stuff, and here's your 5% for sending him my way."
"I don't need that! I just knew you sold that stuff, and had what he was looking for."
"No, take it. Me and my wife talked it over, and I never would have sold it if you hadn't told that Customer about me. We think it's only fair that you should have it."
So Hick took his "commission," and they both were happy.
"The guy said he sold the gas pump for $1,500. And also a big Texaco sign. Of course I have my big Shell sign on the front of the BARn, and other stuff like that. But I don't want people coming out here to look, and this guy sells out of his home."
Hick has many irons in many fires.
