I don't mind it personally. But what get's me, is when people ask what the lowest, or even throw a lower offer after you have posted a FIRM price.
But if someone is asking 550 OBO, asking what the least they will take can take the bs back and forthing out of it.
Or gotten him shot in the back. Never know what the criminal is thinking or would do. I'm for CCW, but not against OC. However OC makes me think of situations like that.
OP: Glad your ok! Like it's been said, you lost 17 bucks and a cellphone, but still have what is valuable!
