Are we familiar with OBO? And, im craving HOTDOGS!

People, when you put something for sell use lingo like this "Blankety blank available, good condition, no known issues $240". By placing an ad craigslist, it is IMPLIED that you will negotiate SOMEWHAT. When you place an ad like this "Blankety blank, available, good condition, negotiable, asking $240, will take $130" what do you THINK people are going to offer? Gee, you'd have to be REALLY special to say, hey, I think I'll offer that there fella $200 and see if he'd take it. RIGHT, the cats out of the bag, you are VERY negotiable. And you have a bottom dollar already in mind. If you feel the need to express that you are negotiable, use lettering like "OBO" which means "OR BEST OFFER" (and doesnt mean 'will take no less than $130). Often, people will offer you more than your bottom dollar if you'd just hang tight. Or, say something like "slightly negotiable" or "may negotiate" . Learn posting etiquette!

As for the hotdogs, I think its a side effect of the medication, but I can normally go years without a hotdog, but ive recently ingested about 10 hotdogs. We had hotdogs for dinner on Tuesday & Wednesday. I had a hotdog for breakfast this morning and 2 hotdogs for lunch. If each hotdog is 4% unknown, ive ingested 40% unknown material. Thats like, almost half of a rat. Yummy... Even that cant kill it. Those hotdogs were GOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDD!!! Now, off to work to get our asses chewed in the meeting. Maybe I can ralph up a hotdog.


If you read this, I am charging $10 for this information, but will take a comment instead.
