Annapolis Area For Sale By Owner, Part 1: Know What You’re Getting Into
March 1st, 2008 Categories: For Sale By Owner, Sellers
A local manufacturer was in trouble. The equipment in his plant had stopped working and his production of widgets had come to a grinding halt. Try as he might, he couldn’t fix the problem on his own, so he called in an expert repairman.
The repairman went to the control panel, a dumbfounding arrangement of gauges, dials and buttons. He tapped once or twice then proceeded to push this and that. The equipment started right up and the plant owner was back in production.
“That’ll be $5,000,” said the repairman. “You must be crazy!” replied the owner. “You were only here a few minutes. And all you did was push a few buttons! You need to send me an itemized invoice!”
“Happy to,” said the repairman, pulling out a pen and paper. He scribbled a few words and handed the paper to the plant owner. It said: “Pushing a few buttons: $5.00. Knowing which buttons to push: $4,995.”
