I did my 2008 taxes and I got the smiley face. The smiley face spoke to my better angels and they have told me that…

“If you are in a profession dealing with words, ideas, or communication, this is a very productive time for you. Ideas flow, and you express your thoughts well.”

So I thought I would start emailing some peeps off of KSL and Craigslist and engage in the art of breaking balls…ahem, haggling. I have emailed them with offers for their PS3’s. For the 60-80 gig systems or bundles I have offered $350-$400. For the 40 gig models and accessories…$300. I make it a point to let them know that my offer is solid and I deal strictly with CASH MONEY.

Here are the responses I have received so far.
-No thanks. $550 firm.
-I really wish I could but I just have to much invested and a lot of people have been going for 450
-I’ll give you a LOL for your offer
-I just posted this and would like to see what kind of response i get. I will let you know. I am willing to work some on the price.
-Thanks for the offer but there's quite a few people who have called so the lowest I would go would be $500.
-How about $390?
-Dude, I just watched a 60g without any of the extras sell on ebay for 640. I dont really like ebay and wanted to avoid shipping but the best i can do is 500.
-I dont know...thats kinda low...maybe $400 its a deal
-the lowest i will take is 375. only because i am giving the extra control, game, and movie. between the movie, control, and game that alone that alone valued at 125.
-$450 you got a deal.

…And someone who wants to sell, but is out of state?
-Hey, I have not sold the PS3 yet and will sell it to you for 300... let me know! give me a call at *** 616 0266 if you wanna buy it

I’ll let you know how this plays out…

-DAG!
