It's taken all of this time to finally work a deal on it. At first the ask was just ridiculously high...then it simply wasn't for sale...then he was entertaining offers, but the offer was too low...then I raised my offer...then he asked for the sun and the stars and the moon...and I bit down hard, grabbed my ankles, and went for it "no lube style". #jokingNOTjoking

Hell of a pickup. I was trying to figure out how you were going to add something big that you didn't already have.
