13D? I bid $131.00.
Lolz. See what I did there?


Getting lowballed is really annoying, but I've been surprised at how low some of my accepted bids on ebay have been, so I don't feel too bad offering a % of their asking price that would normally warrant the term, because about 80% of my bids have been accepted. Some people use ridiculous markups for the purpose of making people feel obligated to offer more than they otherwise would, so they should expect it. It's much worse on SF when you get lowball offers for things you're not even taking offers for, even when the price is fair, which is a whole new level of annoying.


Yeah it's marked up a bit since I have them at buy it now, and low ball offers are to be expected. But having three in a row waking up Christmas morning is a bit of a let down. It never hurts to offer a lower price to start, but after someone counters with something relatively reasonable and you add $10-$20 to your lowball offer price, it's a joke. (Especially when you are asking for 90% off the original retail price and 75%+ off my listed price on items that don't go on sale much). Where in the world do you ge brand new Alden Indys for $80 shipped with no tax? If you can't afford it you can't afford it. Do these people think since it's Christmas I'll just give them $200 for free?

And 10D.

I ordered a CT 2.5 hours ago and it still hasn't been done. It's the only thing keeping me in the hospital. That's pretty much pissing me off right now.

Another horrible Jewish christmas has passed. I need to drink myself into a coma now.


Did you see a movie? Did you get your Chinese food? If so that should be a pretty successful Jewish christmas?

I got paired with my Mom for trivia at the big family gathering tonight, and I think the only questions she answered right were about cartoon characters and 50's television shows. :plain:

Yeah that is some bs. I also hate it when people shake their legs throughout the whole movie and they are right behind you. Was watching mission impossible so it was nonstop action but if I was watching a more thinking movie, I probably would have told the lady to sit still or gtfo.

The movie sucked. The people in the movie were terrible. The Chinese dinner was a disaster. And I spent 8 hours with the person I used to take care of. All in all, that's a pretty good recipe for a miserable evening.

i am very fidgety by nature and for that reason i choose a seat with no one in front of me, and if i cant find one i control myself.

omg I know...


The social graces required for old family friends are exhausting and our annual conversations are tedious at best. The festivities need some fresh faces to liven things up.
