Scammed the newly widowed by keeping cheap Bibles in the back of his junker, searing the women’s initials on the covers in cheapass gold plate, telling them their husbands had ordered it for them right before they died, and then charging an outrageous sum because the hubbies “wanted the best.” And of course the poor widows gladly paid.

A grift as old as time that still finds suckers. Disgusting that this POS is doing this to raise cash. Did he hold it right side up in the sales pitch, at least?

(Great movie, BTW.)
