Last month, maybe, I picked up a rare lighter. I got it after a lot of back and forth with the seller. Here's a quote from his email to me:
Consider the following: 1. Probability of you finding this lighter in unused condition is 0% 2. Probably of you finding this lighter in next 3 years given the fact this was a regional giveaway is 10% 3. Probability I will reduce my offer from$400 to $225 to make you feel like you are getting a deal is 0%. 4. Probability you can buy lighter today at $250 is 100%. Well, guess what? My zero and 10% chances hit 100%. I got another, in absolutely brand new condition for less money. I've sold the one I got last month at a loss but I'm still happy with the price of the new one, even considering the loss.
