Sold my business!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

teeitup · 05-01-2003, 10:15 PM

Yea ha, SOLD my Driving Range just now. I've had it on the market since Dec. and had 2 guys wanting it today, wow stressful day! Have to do all the paperwork and get everything settled but atleast its gone by the end of May. No more mowing, picking up balls and getting up opening and closing every day. More free time for my wife and future baby and truck parts!!! I'm so relieved!!!!!!!! Randy

**BIG ORANGE** · 05-01-2003, 10:19 PM

Well come buy all my truckparts and take them home!

Purs · 05-01-2003, 10:20 PM

congrats Randy!

teeitup · 05-01-2003, 10:27 PM

THANKS Donnie and Brit!!! I sold it on contract so it will be awhile before I will see any $$ its not a whole bunch but it would be enough to get a few more trucks.

weasel29gm · 05-01-2003, 10:31 PM

Congrats and good luck!!

Iron-Butt · 05-01-2003, 10:44 PM

good luck.

Class of 69 · 05-01-2003, 10:46 PM

Congrats, Randy, but I'm thinking the wife's hand is going to be in your face before more trucks are bought !! Should we all put in our wish lists, so you know what to look for ??

00droptopSS · 05-01-2003, 10:47 PM

What are you going to do now?

teeitup · 05-01-2003, 10:57 PM

Thanks Guys!! Your right Mitch, she already told me that about the trucks, she says I have to many now but she knows me and these trucks. I can't even surprise her anymore by what I haul in.

I still work at the golf course full time, I wish I sold it for enough to retire but not even close. I'd like to open a salvage business but the red tape is to much hassle. I'm wanting to quit the golf course but it saves me so much $$ not having to pay for golf.

Fred T · 05-01-2003, 11:16 PM

Randy, that's good news. does it mean you'll get rid of the boxes of golf balls and make room for more truck parts?

barn9 · 05-02-2003, 02:29 AM

Randy, I'll be glad to accept any golf ball donations. I tend to loose a lot of the little *@#+^@"$ every time I go out! LOL!

teeitup · 05-02-2003, 07:17 AM

Thats the plan Fred!

I can't wait to get rid of them all!
LB, come on up I got about 6000 white golf balls and about 10,000 range balls to get rid of.

Thanks guys!

gr8scott51 · 05-02-2003, 10:10 AM

And here I am looking forward to retiring from the Shipyard so I can go to work a golf course!! Strange world, ain't it?

That sounds like many road trips in the next future!

(hint, hint

) bring along the wife and the baby of course, Congrats on the sale Randy.

JHickson6 · 05-02-2003, 01:56 PM

So that's where all the golf balls came from.

I was wondering if you swam through golf course swamps all day :p

nu2-72 · 05-02-2003, 04:19 PM

Personally, I don't like the white balls. Too many preservatives and hormones. I like free range balls best. Wild little devils they are.
Congrats Randy.

*Piston* · 05-02-2003, 07:24 PM

Congrats Randy, sounds like a heck of a deal.. go back to making money instead of having to deal with running a business. Just collect a check and go home

JoetheMobster · 05-02-2003, 08:29 PM

CONGRATS MAN!!

teeitup · 05-03-2003, 09:32 PM

Thanks guys, after today I'm tired of these old trucks for a bit. LONG day at the swap meet! But I'm still GLAD the range SOLD!!!
