New installment on the Vice Deal King resume...


Got 277 gallons of fuel oil for my furnace today.

For the low, low price of FREE.

Beat that.   

Whats the catch? This stuff contaminated with anti freeze or something?

No catch.

Restaurant closed down.

Indigents moved in under the addition on the rear of the building and eventually set fire to their crack den/bum orgy.

I'm doing demolition as part of the remodel.

Building's owner wanted the tank gone.

277 gallons of fuel oil had to find a new home.

Thats nice 

I got a Hot Tub for free two weeks ago. It was a gift though, not a find.

My brother is a builder with a lot of business in Reno/Remodel. According to him, this is VERY common when there is something old in the way of progress. Owners just want the stuff GONE. He has taken home untold appliances, sinks, cabinets, doors, etc... in perfect condition. He either gives them to family, or sells them on Craigs list.

I'm still waiting for him to come across my new slate counter tops......

Yeah, I'm starting a residential job in about a week.  Total demolition.  Nothing left except a blank slate of a lot.

Unfortunately the owner is donating all of the brand new stainless steel appliances (cooktop, 2 ovens, dishwasher), granite countertops, pedestal sinks in bathrooms, etc. to Habitat for Humanity.  Oh well.  No big scores on this one.  (Except maybe one. I won't elaborate now, so as not to jinx myself.  You'll definitely be hearing about it here if it comes to fruition.)

Sounds like my bro's kind of client.

big ideas, big wallet, little brains..

No, in this instance it's definitely brains.

I think your'e the deal Prince and the contender to the throne. The king is getting old and feeble, a foolish old man who couldn't see a deal coming if it hit him in the face. Strike now and take what is yours! Then you will be king of the deals, and all your subjects will be in awe.


Until one day a young prince comes of age and begins to view your deals with a critical eye.....

Hey only one of us is about to turn a six figure profit on a house he bought a little while ago.


I'm pretty sure I'm the Deal Emperor.
