Thanks, she hadn't tested the system and didn't know if it worked, so she sold it for pretty much nothing. It seems to work fine though.

Looks like you can get more for a buck than just a 20 minute phone call with 1-800-Collect.

Why would you ever ask 3 times?

(1)What if when you asked her to repeat herself she said oh no i'm sorry 10$s.
(2)Then you are like wow really 10$!
And then she is like oh no that stuff... 25$s
(3)and then you were like oh 25$s ok...
and then she responded Oh wow look how much is here and how old it is.. 100$s for this stuff. Must be OMG r@r3
And then you sadly walked away.

How it could have happened.

I made the mistake of asking a guy if he was sure i could keep the change when he payed for a newspaper when i was working in TX.
Smart ass threw a bill at me thought he was leaving a quarter or 15 cents behind (can't remember which now) but he had given me a 100 instead of a 1.

Something i will always regret....

ANYWAYS
Awesome grab! Cheesy

I think it was the "Deer in Headlights" effect kicking in XD.
