is this one of those "fell off the truck" items?

Alright....

- I found this particular television brand new under 2 minutes online with shipping to my house for $620.

- Take into account that I will probably have to come and get said TV, I subtract $30, taking me down to $590.

- The "sketch-ball" factor (no offense, but you all play poker and shoot angles constantly) of "did this fall off a truck" and "is this thing broken in some way" causes me to lower it further down to $490.

- An eBay version that took me about 10 more minutes to find with shipping runs for $360 (buy it now), and current bid is at only $250. Recession baby... fuckers are selling their electronics at deep discounts to get food I suppose. I havent checked Craigs list either. So $490 still seems too high. Now I want to support local here.... but not at a $130-$240 markup. Ill have to drop it to $360, high end buy it now price. Ill ignore the possibility of the lower bidding price for "support the locals."

-Almost forgot.... still need to go pick up the TV, knock off that $30 more.... $330.

- And its never good business to offer what you think something is worth. Start at 50% and negotiate is an ok tactic socially between two people (more like 60-75% is better for serious business offers). But here it is 50%.

Ok. I offer to buy said TV off of you for $165.

Muffins. I'm offering muffins!

TV go *poof*
