No Sir,

I am not going to lock a thread for something as silly as your last post, and am certainly not going to let you have the last word. Having forums where folks can haggle over price serves a purpose of any low-ball bids being seen by all and others having the ability to make a higher offer. All this without the eBay fees. I still do recommend Paypal as a payment method because there is recourse if the seller doesn't follow through. While we do require prices in this forum (and if not provided the potential buyer should request them), we don't require shipping. If the buyer asks for it, a firm shipping quote should be provided, or who the hell will want to buy from you? Furthermore, the tenor of any haggling should be pleasant, and easy going. Leatherworkers are a pleasant bunch, you seldom see a counteroffer if the deal is anywhere near reasonable. Simple offer/counteroffer types of haggling can be effective and civil. Like I said before, everyone is watching, so the seller will seldom get screwed, an exceptional deal is hard to pass-up. From the buyer's side, there are sharks that occasionally roam these waters, and I (in particular, but not exclusively) will go shark hunting if I see a fin starting to rise. I understand that the seller is trying to get as much for his item as he can, but I also know that the buyer is trying to get what he wants for as cheap as possible. Capitalism is always a case of supply vs. demand, but outright head-butting will put a buyer off faster than most would imagine. Remember please that the buyer has the gold, and the seller dances to the buyers tune; or the seller doesn't dance at all.

Lots of characters for sure...like you. I can't even understand your posts sometimes because you use ALL CAPS and little to no punctuation...that's what my 8 yr old does sometimes for reference.

This is one of the most bizarre threads I've ever read.  This guy is looney tunes, and a complete jackass to boot.

I can't see how anyone would ever even consider doing business with a creep like this.
