Great read. Some thoughts:
"Sure, my friend, you can show me a great pillow on your phone...or you can actually lay down on an extremely comfy one right here, right now."
– Great response. I have the card, buy it now.
"I'm going to take a bath on this, but I'll let it go for $450." As I said thank you and started to walk away, he called out, "Wait, what were you looking to spend?" Holding up my phone (on the exact same site he was undoubtedly just looking at), I replied, "Well the last eBay sales were about $200 to $222, so I'm out. Thanks anyway."
His final words to me? "Oh, thanks. I'll keep that in mind." No, he won't.
- Truer words were never spoken. Also, the bath comment, that is a sympathy ploy.
It used to be really only sixes or sevens and above (again, not scientific, just anecdotal) made an appearance.
- Totally agree with this. These cards are now straight to the auction house.
