ALL ABOUT BUYING FROM BOB'S

TERMS WE USE

MINT CONDITION: Car/truck is in same condition as when it came out of the factory sitting in its original packaging, which it may or may not still have.

NEAR MINT: Durn it I wish this thing were mint but to be perfectly honest there is some small imperfection, visible or not, that keeps it out of the Mint category.

NEAR MERT: DO NOT BUY. I REPEAT DO NOT BUY ANYTHING IN NEAR MERT CONDITION.

EXCELLENT: Car/truck has small visible imperfections that would probably be apparent to anybody giving it a close look, but is still highly impressive.

VERY GOOD: Still more and larger paint chips, etc., but still impressively unmarred for its age.

Who is Bob?

Bob found that dealing tiny vintage vehicles is a good form of self-medication in these uncertain times, so he dropped out of life and bought a tiny used car lot out on West Bacon Road.

who is mert?

Mert is an ace mechanic, part-time buyer, volunteer advisor, and frequent tormentor of Bob. He has been working at Bob’s Used Car Lot for 49 years, which is strange as Bob’s Used Car Lot just opened up yesterday. Also known as “Tiny Mert.”
