Because it does work.

That is why you say, "I have cash in hand" and "I can come by now"

It is called bartering.

 

I have low balled people and received that price, rich people for example, druggies as well yes.

 

You could say the same with the seller high balling their price.

 

Bartering!

 

 

What do you do when you make an offer on ebay?

Well usually when it’s listed fairly, both the seller and buyer know it going into the deal

I once almost bought an item listed as "immaculate" and it had a fair and reasonable price. I was so excited, when I went to go look at it the seller did some photo trickery like showing only one side, and having a long shot pic. We both had a good laugh and ended up crushing some beers and chit chatting.

What do you do when you make an offer on ebay?

i think its dumb when the price is just ridiculous. For example, I was selling a 2000 used item for 1000 (a good price for its condition) and the guy says "I can pay 200 today". I dont even dignify with an answer.

Ultra is stupid. ALWAYS.

Yes that is what I do, except when the program times your pm response. Then I respond but never mention the price they asked and only list the asking price again. usually just say, yes it is a gtx 2080 and asking $550. Or put in the ad, reasonable offers only pls.  then you get the $0.01 ask and just say gtx 2080 $550

You and your sister. You both must still live at home. It's hard to believe, but when they move out, you'll miss them... And I'm not wanting to have a similar conversation with my gf lol... and there's no possibility of it not being hard.

Having the flu because someone decided to walk around the grocery store sneezing all over.

 

Ive had a xanax and a bunch of codeine cough syrup so idk if i posted this already or not. But at least the horrible pain has faded to a pleasant opioid induced numbness.

I read that as "cocaine" cough syrup. I was amazed that, that was still produced and surprised you weren't feeling everything. Then I realized it said "codeine" not "cocaine".

Yeah that would be bad for someone like me who already has trouble sleeping. I need my sleep and with this coughing and fever i havent gotten much of my much needed beauty rest ?

Thing is, the thing I was selling was brand new. Still in the shrink wrap. 

 

Cheapest you can find anywhere online was like 470, so I listed it at 400. Cheeky fucker asked for 300

Having a window between shifts. 

 

Plenty of people in security who don't call in advance, wonder why they're never promoted.

One side has been far worse than the other. Fortunately, it will be over soon.
