You're probably right.... but why not use better grammar and explain the sentiment? "I appreciate you" is extremely vague and says little. If he was specific to warranted interactions and said something like "I appreciate you working on this price with me", or "I appreciate your knowledge about this item", etc, that would make much more sense. You appreciate specifics about someone or something, but as a rule, you do not just "appreciate" in general.

"I appreciate ya" begs the further question... "well, what about me do you appreciate??" Everything??

was watching last night and I noticed Mikes brother...whatever his name is...saying "I appreciate it" after striking a deal. I stand by my belief that Mike is trying to sound sincere...which I believe is somewhat authentic.

Now don't ever...set foot on my lawn AGAIN!!!!

I like the UK version with Fiona. Watching it now waiting for the Yankee game to start.

I’m still watching but it’s getting harder and harder. Robbie is an arrogant a**hole with a voice that grates on my nerves; Danielle is annoying as hell and Jersey John (the least of three evils) needs to wash his hair. I think the sun is setting on this show.

The dynamic between Mike and Frank (real or staged) was gold.

I'm a what?


But seriously, these two: Pickers and Pawn, have lost all interest to me.

UK versions of most anything is less interesting to me.


oh...and that catchphrase and how a southerner would say it:

'PRESHATE YA!'
