Seven words that I can't stand

[trckdrvr]

If a seller is foolish enough to actually give his "Lowest"price it is usually followed up by the buyer making a lowball offer to the sellers"lowest"price.

im with the OP on this one..

I always say, "What's the highest you'll pay?"

I want to give you as few of my dollars as it takes to get your item.

What about, "Why are you selling it?"

I want to say, "Because I was robbing a c-store last month and the damned thing just went off and killed the clerk dead as a doornail. I CANNOT be caught with this thing."

I find your post ironic. Why should SALE only be used if one is in a boat? Did you mean SAIL?

It's the pronunciation I was getting at.

I must 'sale' my hooked on phonics DVD's.

I dont think ive ever said that on here. But ive had a couple idiots message me when I put up my ar yesterday. I noticed they were really new to the site had like 5 posts totall. I mean super crap lowball. So low I almost said yea and meet and cussed them.out and take the negative feedback instead.

You never tell me what im going to take for something, much less 1/4 of its orginal value

My first ODT experiences were very poor... guys offering half of what gun shops have the same used item for sale and then berating me because my price was "unreasonable". Several used the "How low will you go" tactic - my response was my asking price unless they had a better number. I generally base my price on what appears to be market price (actually a little lower) based on looking at retail, auction sites, and the Blue Book. I had one guy tell me that he would never pay more than some percent of Blue Book for anything but used it for insurance valuation.

We should all be adults, some of us act like children, but the market is a market and no one is forcing anyone into a transaction. I don't have to sell and you don't have to buy. However, I think the complaining about other's pricing while simultaneously ranting about socialism is a little two faced but hey that's my opinion yours may be different.

get used to it, it is usually with the phrase, CASH MONEY. like your going to take food stamps, beaver pelts or their little sister!

When I get the "I'll give $300 CASH" I just say check is fine and ask for the amount I was looking for
