I lowball sellers on eBay all the time. Some of em' agree to what I'm offering, some of em' ignore me, some of em' flip their **** and write up a long rant about all the fees they have to pay. I always play the "hey bro, why are you trying to sell this for $250 when it ends consistently at $40-$70? Give it to me for $80." Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Ain't no shame. I've been buying and selling online for over 12 years now and haggling has always been the best part of it. I've gotten absurd offer messages from crazy buyers that I've declined while also asking absurd offers to sellers that somehow got accepted. I'm a cheap bastard that likes deals so maybe I'm too easy on people that send me low ball offers for the stuff I'm looking to sell. It doesn't bother me. It wastes like 20 seconds of my time before I just ignore them completely. :lol
 
Some seller have an online store that you can pay with Paypal. It saves them on Ebay's seller fee. And that could be pass on as free shipping to customer.

If you're offering people ballpark amounts of recent solds that's much different than offering $13.59 on an XM statue

If i want something and people are trying to get it too lower than the going rate i just bid the going rate. I win about 90% of the time for much lower because people usually give up after a while. Very rarely do i pay big money but i dont bid like that unless i have the money to potentially take a hit.

A Texas high school teacher was grinning ear-to-ear for her mugshot after turning herself into police on Monday, accused of having sex with a male student.

She turned herself in hours after celebrating her birthday with her husband, smiling widely in her mugshot.

What a time to be a high schooler.

Many such cases!
 
Yeah I don't see the issue either aside from inappropriate conduct. She should only lose her job, not go to ****ing jail. C'mon now.

Although I don't know the age of consent in Texas.

My one teacher in grade school who taught 5th grade IIRC got locked up for statutory rape. He ended up marrying the girl :lol

Do you have kids?

Do you think a 17 year old mature enough to have sex?

If you answered yes to both of those questions someone needs to call DCFS on you. :panic:

Still, you got to wonder what's going on in the minds of these teachers. There is definitely something wrong with them mentally when it comes to balancing risk with reward. Some of them in the most recent cases have been pretty hot, surely they can find a dude around their age without preying on kids and teens.

It's not really the underage and age thing that's a problem as much as it is the lack of professionalism. That kind of scandal doesn't just affect the student and teacher, but the entire school. If she's not mature enough at 26, then she shouldn't be a teacher or in education, period.

Though I'm sure a lot of them just don't give a **** like the one in the story above, smiling like a fiend. :lol It is funny when the teens involved report the teacher after so many sessions. I'd do the same thing after I got tired of them. That's what happened to this one. She was ****ing one of the students, then cheated on him with another student on a trip so he reported her. :lol

There was another story I read yesterday where a teacher was having sex with one of her students, and she was being blackmailed and extorted so she wouldn't lose her job.

She paid $28,000 over a year, having to take out pay day loans.

The extortionist? The student she was ****ing. SMH.

In all serious, Pixletwin is correct, though.

as for being ready, it is hard to say because kids today are losing their virginity at 12 and 13 or something like that, so 17 is actually a little more mature than what kids are going through (In Germany they are going to start sex ed classes in early middle school if i remember correctly) things should not be this way but with the internet kids now are discovering stuff much younger.

I wouldn't be surprised they start allowing child brides over there from how things are going.

According to a certain Transformers film, it depends on if you have one of these cards :monkey3
