I firmly agree. What is this, /r/choosingbeggars? Or Craigslist? This is what I'm used to seeing on Reddit...
CB: Is (thing) still for sail? Seller: Yes, it is. Like I said in my ad posting, I want $600, firm. No haggling, no low balls. CB: I can get it for FREE? Seller: No. $600, firm. No haggling, no low balls. CB: I have $100, cash. Deal? Seller: Absolutely NOT. The price is $600, firm. No haggling, no low balls. CB: C'mon, bruh! I can get the same thing for $350 from this guy I know. Seller: Then get it from him. My price is $600, firm. No haggling, no low balls. CB: Gimme a break, bruh, you'll never get that price! It's too high! You should take my $100 cash. Will you deliver? Seller: Can you read? I want $600, firm. No haggling, no low balls. And it's pickup only. CB: But I have to drive an hour! You pay me $10 for gas! Seller: Seriously? No. CB: (bleep) you! Your a scammer! (Various low IQ insults, most misspelled.) Seller: Ok, I'll change the price, just for you. CB: Rilly? $100 cash? CB: ? CB: ??? Seller: $700, firm. No haggling, no low balls. CB: (Incoherent rant.) I blok and s repurt u, scammar! Seller: ... Seller: $800, firm. CB: WHARRRRGARRBBBBLLLL! Seller: (Blocks CB) If the guy wants to sell it for $600, and your think it's too high, just move on. Haggling is for hamfests. 73, Gwen, NG3P On Thu, Oct 26, 2023, 8:47 PM Lou Laderman via Elecraft < elecraft@mailman.qth.net> wrote: > Anybody can ask whatever they want, and should t have to deal with others > complaining about the asking price.
