It's cool you guys bring the kids into this whole toy truck thing
(seriously, but sounded funny)
Mario72 from up in Ontario Canada has come to Carlisle Trucks with his two boys and wife the past two years. First year I gave them both a yellow '83 truck. Last year the yellow '67. The older son pulled his well played with '83 out of his pocket to show me. Really made my day. This year I have a couple yellow '69s for them, but not sure they'll make it down due to such a high exchange rate. They camp and see many sights along the way. Such a great family I admire. Here is what they travel in:
I also treat all the kids right at the meets. When they ask how much one is I tell them less than normal, like $2, then ask if that sounds good or would they like t make an offer. If they freeze up on that I give the dad a look and do the head thing. You know, the hint hint side nod. They'll bend down and quietly tell them to offer less. If they stay frozen I ask, "Could ya do a dollar?", and they shake their head yes. If they look for their dad to pay I tell them, "No, that was only if you pay". Then they grab it from him and hand it to me, I hand it to them, shake their hand , and say nice doing business with you. I'd just give it to them but I think this is better. Those are my best sales.
