M90 fantasy question--

[redbenjoe]

sort of posted this on s2g --years ago - cant find the thread --
so this was it --(about)
---------------------------------------
lets make believe --you are driving about some poor neighborhood-
you see a sign --
"husband just died -- need money --everything for sale"
another sign says " big JVC boombox "

you go in --and meet this lovely old widow-
first thing --she offers you fresh baked cookies and fruit and hot chocolate-

you can tell that she never had much $$ good stuff --
but- sure enough -- everything was for sale --
except one chair, one lamp and one small table-

all her stuff had price tags--with VERY low prices

even her house and her car was for sale- at LOW prices
----------------------
you ask to see the jvc box -
she said it was her husbands favorite thing --
he loved it - played it every day --
but it was her only item with no price tag ..

she takes the old dusty blanket off it --
and your heart goes into trippple time
it was all original - near mint -just dusty m90 !!!
you ask if you can try it --
EVERYTHING works like NEW--

you ask - how much $ ??
she said she has no idea what its worth -
and nobody has asked to see it yet--
and she was just hoping some honest person would
want it --and make her a fair offer--

you can tell that she never had a computer -
and never even heard of ebay or craigslist, etc

so ..............you are blessed with an exclusive ...
take-it-home --quick SCORE !!!

all you know is that she NEEDS money right away
------------------------------------------

your offer is WHAT...
???

skippy --no more lawn --she is selling her home :'-(

Oh yeah,duh.........

The feeling I have today it would be $200. But ask me the same question tomorrow and I couldn't guarantee that I would give you the same answer.

 

[redbenjoe]

agree - that the number would be different for all of us -
and would vary by the day or month or year

I dunno Maybe try and be honest Explain to her that i am a collector and that this particular box can go as high as $1500 in an auction but that I dont have near that much and see what she says to that

 

[Superduper]

I think $100 and she will be happy, and I'll be happy. What possible better ending can there be than that?

Since everything has low prices, you can't possibly save her from everything.

I give her $500 and take her out to dinner
