[QUOTE="Tonym, post: 6711600, member: 394"] The first year I started farming I bought a combine from the local Burgess branch. I had a hard deal with the rep and agreed that if I bought it as seen with no warranty and collected it from the Farm he could defer payment until the end of the year. Just the deal I wanted as being short of cash it allowed me to do my harvesting and sell some corn to pay for the combine. My father and I collected the combine a few days later and when we returned home the bill was on the mat. Phoned the manager of the local branch and he knew nothing of the deal I had struck with the rep but said leave it with me for a day or two. He phoned me a few days later to tell me they would honour the deal. That rep moved round the dealers in the area and got the reputation of being a serial liar and I was once told by a member of his family that " he was such a good liar that he believed them himself ". In those days a deal was an honourable thing and people were judged by their honesty. [/QUOTE]
