I've had 3 jobs and am trending about a 3-4year tenure, which is about average now a days. I just get bored with the exception of my last job. Loved consulting because no matter how crappy it was, there was an end to the engagement. However, family life comes first over 100% travel/consulting life. Plus jumping around in my 20s allowed me to broaden my experiences (as well as pay band

) but I think it's time to commit a little more in my 30s.

I think I'll casually browse and stick it out here for at least a year unless I find an amazing gig. I'll see how the annual merits/bonuses and healthcare increases stack up and go from there. Who knows. I just want to drive my Z again

Have to love craigslist. Put the DD up for sale. First three texts offered me 50% of my asking. Fourth asking a civic trade + cash. Clever responses were sent

That's ridiculous

I'm trying to sell some guitar pedals and most of the responses I get on there are basically asking if I'd practically give it to them

Yeah. I always inflate my craigslist pricing because of this. But 50%? That's just plain stupid.

First response I lowered it $.01.
Second one I raised my asking 5%.
Third one I replied asking if he could read.
Fourth one I said I would gladly trade for his civic + cash on his end if it was a 2018 Type R. Let's make the deal today!

Yeah. I never get mad, I just know the majority of low balls I get aren't even serious so might as well have some fun.

When I sold my old DD back in 2015, I got a low ball, which I responded similarly with a $1 decrease, but he responded back with a more reasonable offer and I ended up selling to him!

LOL Sometimes you just have to tip your cap and accept a good deal =)

My craigslist lowballing netted me a spare pair of headlight assemblies for $125 Prior to that I was too chicken to open my own head lights, and too cheap to send them to a pro.... Now I can experiment on the cheap...

Leingod · 07-28-2017, 09:54 AM

I don't bother to lowball people. Give me a fair price and I will play it. I don't need to play haggling games.

I'm going to make my car look like it came straight out of brazzers

Madwi is basically a clone of Junkman on here. He knows the ins and outs of detailing to the finest of degrees. He has single handily made me overly neurotic when it comes to washing my car now.

eagle edgeless mf towels

griots quick sprays

four star sealants

DA polisher with enough pads to control a red river

specific patterns, wait times, and drying techniques

I still want to know what the hell he uses to have water literally dissipate from the car. It doesn't even bead. It just runs off immediately.
