Guess you would not take $498 so I won't offer.

Save your breath, Link - I'm too much the man of principle to mess around with.

And there is the somewhat possible alternative explanation for my stubbor......uh, my high principles; that alternative being a certain Woman, not large of stature but a Titan of character and good sense, who may have said the likes of "What? You whine for 2 years for the money to buy that thing, whatever it is, now you want to sell it?? NOT ONE CENT less than $500!" - said with quiet grace and Christian charity, of course...

Yeah, like I'm gonna be cowed by that. As IF. No, that dawg don't hunt . I will take that one cent less just outta spite, and relish the feeling of manly brio, as I fold the laundry.

I too have learned the proper way to fold laundry.

As far as the way you communicate "firmness" in your ad, it is the best I have seen. I will "borrow" it next time I list something.
