Don't worry, there's lots of wildlife to hit on the road in MO but you probably won't want to eat it.

Don't get to "town" much do ya? If "going out of business" didn't work, furniture stores would literally HAVE to go out of business.
Monty, I have a neighbor that moved out from Va a couple years ago. When it got down to the wire and sales were slow he just loaded his flatbed, set it out front and put a sign on it"everything but the trailer is free for the taking". Saved several trips to the dump -- people would take almost anything that was free.
I did my Basic training there at Ft Leonard Wood (spring 1961), Glad I didn't leave anything to go back for.
I can understand that. Went on bivouac the first week of April, Army declared April 1 to be summer, issued summer gear including summer sleeping bags - basically a blanket with a zipper. Mother nature hadn't gotten the word that it was summer. Tough week in the woods.
Saved this clip from the Wall Street Journal - figured it applied to the farrier business also: Where Mr. Hassankola comes from -- Tehran -- the game is played without price tags, a style common in carpet bazaars from Delhi to Marrakech. In the West, an astronomical price tag is often a fiction; slashing it is a way to let buyers believe they're getting a discount. Price tag or not, it's the sellers who always know where a rug comes from, how old it is, how good it is, and how much it cost them. Except for connoisseurs, the only thing most buyers know is what they "love." A seller can size up a buyer and decide what he's likely to pay. In business school, it's called "price discrimination." Mr. Hassankola has learned that lesson: He went to business school in Switzerland. When he finished, in 1991, he took a job in a Zurich rug warehouse. The smell -- barnyard and mothballs -- stirred memories of his grandfather's rug store. That was all he knew of the trade, but he had studied the beauties of going bust. Zurich was known as a trading post for wealth escaping Iran in the guise of carpets. They were piling up in fixed-price shops. Mr. Hassankola hooked up with one of them, packed it with stock and advertised an emergency shutdown. The place stayed open for months and "made tons of money," he says, adding: "If a store is closing forever, people believe they can squeeze you. It is the power of words." Mr. Hassankola says he reprised his act in Zurich four times, then opened a store of his own there and went out of business in 1999.
Nearly the oppisent in this case Patrick. Allost all have tipped some way above and beond . As i said befor i have a great bunch of clients.
My friend once told me that when he worked in a medical supply company years ago, they replaced a large refrigerator and since the old unit was still in good order, they put it outside with a "free" notice on it. After a week or so, it still stood untaken so they put a "for sale" notice on it. With 24 hours it had been stolen. ..
