It Pays to ask

Postby Sheckster » Sat May 09, 2009 9:21 am

I was browsing around on the internet yesterday, revisiting a few places. I saw some sites still had a lot of spastiks on thier wesites. I have noticed that they usually "purposely" forget to take them off the sites when sold out to get guys like me excited. Site 1, I saw some high prices and and casually and nicely wrote to them making an offer for them... I offered to buy every single one of them at a low price I set. They took it. I bought.
This post now will go to another place. I wrote to another place and he wrote back and said, "oh I remember you, no we are still out of them". I had forgotten that we spoke 3 weeks ago and they has said that they were out, I apologized for my forgetfulness and kindly asked them to look a little deeper, I knew there were some spastiks there! Gut instinct. Lo and behold the guy, who never heard of any of them, writes back and said "I just pulled out a mr science guy (he didnt say that.. a orange guy with a red nose.. really ugly) , a MvsR Baker poison Cupcake (a monkey dressed like a baker holding a Green cupcake) , and some others!" I said "I will give you this set amount for all of them", he was like, "sure, you got it pal!" Then he said "these are really weird, like, mean, I am like holding these things in my hand right now looking at them.. why do you want them so bad"? I kind of chuckled and said -"I just like them, that is all." ;-)
