The economy sux...if people arent trying to get the best deal possible, they are fools. If you are selling something, you want to get the most money possible, If your buying you want to pay as little as possible. How many times have people seen something for sale at such a price as to say..."that guys on crack, it's not worth half that" it goes both ways. I don't really believe anybody has said to themselves "I don't like that Cig 72 guy, so I am going to lowball him just to poizz him off" more than likely they thought "he is asking 600, I'll offer him three..we will go back and forth and hopefully I can get them for 500" If he starts by offering 5, you will go back and forth and he may get them for 550, which is what he was originally wanting to soend with INCLUDING shipping. Hell the last dgital cam I bought, was selling for 150, I negtiated with the manager and got it for 100, plus they threw in a case AND a 2gig card.. and this was at friggin Kmart.. Relax man.

thanks guys to all who see where I'm coming from! I was almost positive that I wasn't the only guy looking for a good deal! But I guess 72cig cant post anything else because everyone called him out on a "lowballing" thanks to all.And by the way 72 cig I dont mean to belittle you or mean anything bad by all this but its life and the "getting a good deal game" everyone does it, I'm not the only one as you can see.I'm still interested but not for $600 plus shipping. thanks

If Im asking $6000 for a car and someone offers $3000, I usually respond yes, I'll take $3000. When can I expect the rest of it?

I only do that on craigslist stuff.

Here ya go!!http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Gaffr...ssoriesQ5fGear

spend some time on them and paint them, split up the set and take one drive and throttle out and off the 2 your not using for 100 bucks and you have a nice set of throttles/shifters for the 300.00 bucks you offered..

I don't see it as a hijack, just busting chops. If you want a real hijack I will post it under your swap shop posting. :drink::drink::drink
