H3X4GON 0 Posted November 10, 2013 Yes!!!! Every time I post a sale, this always happens. It's been like this quite a few times already that I've been lowballed or had this exact thing happen to me, but when I tell the people I actually need the money and I can't budge, they suddenly accept it...

narikaa 129 Posted November 11, 2013 This thread should carry the sub title "The wankers lament" These approaches are about as credible as Billy Bunter seeking an advance on his forthcoming postal order at the tuck shop A pal of mine from way back when had a glorious way in selling scenarios, I remember his opening gambit once..... "before we start have you brought £125,000 with you in cash? if not what the fuck are you doing here wasting my time " . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RussP 22,582 Posted November 11, 2013 If your asking price is reasonable, then there's no need to negotiate. If on the other hand, you believe that the counter-offer is reasonable too, then accept it. I tend to politely decline if I'm confident that my asking price is reasonable. Being polite tends to work in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cogwatch 1 Posted November 12, 2013 I only have $1.57 in my couch cushions. Will that work for you? Wait, I found another quarter under the seat in my car. So I'll cover the PayPal fee as well, that should more than cover it. But seriously. I've made offers a few times when my research indicated it was reasonable or when I was buying 2 or 3 on one sale listing. I always do a lot of research before I go for an M2M buy (I'm talking looking at the watch on every TD's site including some RWI TD sites in 10 minutes or so) and if it looks reasonable, and it usually does, and you throw in the no customs risk if from CONUS to CONUS for example, which in itself has true value, the I just stick with the asking price.

Frankt8242 1 Posted November 12, 2013 my credit card is prepaid In that case then ....It's a "debit card"...(which I actually invented back in the late '60's) The bank I was working for had had a mass issue of cards to all of our customers..(legal back then!!), and we gave all of the members of our board of directors cards with the then "princely" credit limit of $1000....It was the maximum line our system could accept...(us ordinary mortals all got $400. credit limits!!) One of the directors, ( A Textron big wig) approached me and asked me how he could use such a paltry amount during his upcoming European trip....After a little research, I discovered that the system could handle an overpayment in any amount with no problems, so I told him to make a $5000. payment on his account before his trip, and then he'd have a total of $6000. to play with on his trip... He did, and it worked out fine...AFAIK, that was the first actual "Debit Card" ever used... I never got anything for my bright idea except a pat on the back from the director when he got back home... And we all know what has happened in the Debit card milleau!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
