They knocked on the gate: "Friend, take a grinder for 500 rubles, almost new." I took it, but I hope that the man will return the money to me

Good afternoon, dear guests!

I am writing an article in hot pursuit, literally 2 hours ago a man knocked on the gate and offered a practically new grinder. In three years, this is the first time that anyone has gone around the house with such proposals.

We have breakfast with my wife, I hear someone rattling on a metal gate, I go out and shout from the doorway "who's there?".

In reply: "Take the grinder, friend. I give it back, I used it 10 times, almost new". It became directly interesting how much it is inexpensive for a new one. I open the gate, there is a miracle, swinging, apparently not enough to get drunk ...

I'm asking: - how much?

Man: - 500 rubles!

I: - Show it.

He hands me a small case, hold it, look... The angle grinder is really not shabby, but small. Of course it was not used 10 times, but definitely not 100. Manufacturer Bort. Disc diameter 125 mm.

Come in, I say, let's not stand in the doorway. Let's check it out ...

I plug it in, the engine is running, I checked all the switches, everything is in order. The revolutions are regulated from 3000 to 11000 rpm. - there is an adjustment at the end of the handle:

What is surprising is that the native disk has never been used, it is packed in its own paper packaging:

The second is that the state of the key and add. the handle is excellent, which proves the infrequent use of the tool.

I ask: - Where did you get it?

Man: - Mine, only bought for a long time

I am incredulous and not hoping for evidence, I ask: - Will you show me the check?

How surprised I was when he pulled out documents from his pocket, among which was a crumpled sales receipt:

LBM was bought in 2006, for a minute - she is 14 years old, and she looks like new.

You know, I say, let me give you 500 rubles and take the instrument, but I understand that you need it. As soon as you get drunk and come to your senses, bring me back 500 rubles and I will return the instrument to you.

On this phrase we parted today. For 500 rubles. - a good device, especially since it is not stolen and practically new. Already managed to check it out in practice. But I feel sorry for the peasant more, I am still waiting for him back with the money, because I don't think what he wanted for 500 rubles. sell the tool!

I would be grateful if you liked the article! Thanks!
