just like there are people who will lie about their situation to get a card on the cheap. Awhile back I used to hear "I am a homeless vet on a fixed income. I will offer you ---- on the card."...and of course the amount offered was considerably less than what the card was worth. Granted, I haven't heard that statement much in a while, and I never fell for it back then.

Right but its still worse when a seller says they HAVE to sell something due to many emergency things, yet instead of making a deal at market price (ie. if cant get the price they want they continue to lower or send to no reserve auction) they do the ole 'i'd rather keep it then take that price' .

Sounds like not that big of an emergency

fearless OT prediction. Saints will win Superbowl.

I hate that we are at a point in our society where lying is considered negotiation. It's not new...it's been going on for some time, but seems to be becoming more common.
