Hick went back to the city last week, seeking more merchandise from the place he bought his new used trailer. For which he has yet to receive one red cent, but whatcha gonna do? Can't get blood from an old turnip.
Anyhoo... this is a lady who is selling off stuff from her dead husband. She has a lot of things like old tools that interest Hick. And some things he usually doesn't seek out.
"She had two bicycles. One of 'em, I could lift with one hand! I couldn't believe how light it was. Some kind of 10-speed. It had really skinny tires. She thinks her husband paid $800 for it. I don't know how long ago that was. And she had another one she thinks he paid $300 for. It was a Mongoose, I think. She said she'd take $100 for the both of them."
"Well, I guess that's a good deal, if you have somebody who wants a bicycle. Walmart sells bicycles. I don't know if your customers want something like that."
"I figure that even if I can get $300 from the both of them, I've tripled my money."
Always the businessman. Hick might need another storage locker.
