just common sense. why pay full price for things? if everyone paid full price for everything you would NEVER hear anybody say" I got a good deal" its just life.all they seller has to say is no thanks or make a counter offer.simple as that. as the songs says "time marches on, time marches on"

never know when someone might take and offer. if you lost you job last week and needed money for thsi week you might have sold them to me for $325. never hurts to ask at least you know i am interested since you had a lot of people looking and I was the only one who posted anything on them. Like all the other guys said you are at 600 im at 325 why would I offer 550 for them and then meet in the middle why not offer 325 and meet at 450 or somewhere close. but you choose not to and start this big hissy fit about it and 95% of the guys who have posted on this thread are on my side as opposed to yours. obvoiously its something EVERYBODY does on here. I'm not the only one. if you know im interested why not try and make a deal but you chose not to. no biggie. like I said Im still interested but NOT for $600 thanks.

I had to laugh at this "whinning" about lowballing on stuff. It just goes with the territory...doesnt matter what you have because there will always be someone trying to get something for nothing...sorta speak, and the economy be damned. Now it might be alittle worse with things as they are with the economy right now, but even if the economy was balls to the wall...you are still going to get lowball offers. No offense meant here...but whinning and *****ing about it is not going to change a thing. I get lowball offeres everyday for stuff and before I retired, I was in a pilot pool and got lowball offers from different companies to fly them or their planes for a day or two. I put the hurt on one company that was famous for it...flew them to their destination for the lowball figure...then told them that if they want to go home...its a highball figure. I got the money and they never called me again...damn...I lost so much sleep over it. Point is...lowball or not...dont get upset and get your panties in a bunch resulting in a self made weggie...just do what I do...tell them "sorry...NO...the price is ya-da-ya-da and it is NOT negotiable"! This has always stopped the pissin and moanin for me and if they really want whatever it is that you are selling...they usually pony-up and get it anyway for your asking price.

This is retarded. If you don't like the offer just ignore it as a worst case scenario.

I have 5 kids and excepting all lowball offers on any of them. You can really get deal if you buy the lot with one exception you must take the wife in the deal. Hurry this deal my not last long. I also trade for non bietching, non crying objects. I am also throwing in a one way plane ticket.

Interesting! Now if the wifey still has the Porsche with no loans outstanding, the questionable daughter will promise not to drive, ever (), and none of the other kids require diaper changes I might be interested, if of course, the wifey is real hot, the Porsche is *****in' and the price is real cheap, and if any of the items do not perform as implied I get my money back.

Let the negotiating begin!


P.S. E-mail trade value of blonde GF, she can cook, does not ***** often, has decent job, makes own car payment, and likes fast boats, has spent time in 32 Velocity and was ok with odd handling traits.

Well put! First thing here that even begins to touch on reality.
