Dunce: "Hey, what do you have left in your sale thread?"

Me: "Everything that has a price is available."

Dunce: "Would you give me a good deal on all of it."

Me: "Not really. Prices are firm."

Dunce: "So how much would it be for all the stuff then?"

Me: "The price of everything (everything is priced) plus whatever it would cost to ship it all to you."

Dunce: "OK then my zipcode is ***** what would the total be."

Me: "$1,000".

Well... Which would you rather have? The smug satisfaction of putting the guy down for being dumb, or his money?

You are my hero.

The fact is people like that will never buy anyway.

Dunce: "what deal would you give with everything except the japenese 32x"

I guess he didn't get the point.

Instinct in these situations is king. Gut reaction will tell you someone is wasting your time 9 times out 10.

My buddy Mach asked me why I wouldn't mod consoles for people. I told him "I can get $50, enough to keep a store going for a day, and never see that person again. Or I could insult them and perhaps goad them into a beating. Plus I don't like the labor involved with modding consoles."
