I liked the ad a lot actually. Maybe not throwing out the names of who worked on it but that does'n't bother me too much. I laughed at the price being higher if you tried to negotiate.

What really bothers me is the other ad that was posted: "I plugged it in and it lites up but I did not play it." Really? You took the time to take picures, plug it in, but not push the start button? Really?

Quoted from BooyaNY:

If someone states the price is firm, I honor it. If the price listed is not what I'm willing to pay, I move on. If I go there and condition is not what's expected, I'll point out why I won't pay the listed price and I'll ask if he'll be willing to negotiate.
Seller has the right to stand firm. But unless a firm price is mentioned in the ad, I'm going there assuming the price is negotiable.

Pretty well put. I also look at when the item was posted. If it says firm but has been posted more than a month I'll usually ask "how firm is firm" if I get to the point I want to buy something. 90% of the time after we have had good discussions on the item they will usually say "I can take this for it". But like I said, I do that after I know they have sat on it for awhile. The question is fairly non offensive and occasionaly they'll say "Thats the best I can do". Every situation is different though. It clearly can depend on the person your dealing with as well. I am probably never going to even ask my nice way to an elderly person trying to make up some money I feel they need. Etc. Etc....
