          After a long day of delayed flights my last one was cancelled and I'm stuck in Chicago.  Fuck.

            I know you're tired and ready to be home, but there are worse places to be stuck.  Though I suppose if all you're doing is camping out in the airport, where you are is irrelevant.

              Definitely true, and I am thankful to be stuck at O'hare instead of Midway as well.

              That being said holing up  in the airport overnight is never all that pleasant

                Someone just sent me an email and asked what would my best price be of a pair of IH-9634Z to a first time buyer.  My reply was USD350 (i.e. list).  He just came back and said "I was thinking more like USD300".  I told him to think what he liked…..

                    Awesome!  I didn't know prices were negotiable; that's great news!  You'll be receiving an email soon with my revised offers for various items.  I look forward to at least a 10% break, since I'm a repeat offender customer…

                      I've always been a proponent that you give discounts to loyal customers, not new ones. Sadly, most companies do just the opposite these days.

                        Agreed.  Text from last email I sent him…

                        1. Someone who negotiates as a first time buyer is usually only a one time buyer
                        2. If they do return a precedent has been set
                        3. First time buyers are the most costly in terms of returns etc
                        4. Why would we favour a completely new customer over our 1'000's of repeat customers?

                            The only time I ever negotiate on prices is on big ticket items such as cars, bikes and someday a home.  I can't imagine doing this with clothes.  Especially brand new.  If you don't want to pay what it cost then don't buy it.

                              I've had people trying to get a bargain on new PERISHABLES… As in: trying to lower the price of a bar of choc...

                              Nothing amazes me anymore in that department, you can imagine...

                                I thought of giving him a line of Socrates, maybe Aristoteles, but instead just turned around...

                                    Just took a look at cultizm. Theres an ad of lvc. Slogan: tribute to the biker.
                                    Could be an IH slogan too. Furthermore they have a black overdyed 505.
                                    Seems like the big L found some inspiration in our beloved label…

                                    why so serious?

                                      Why does cereal cost so much?  Pretty soon, stores will have to put the Cap'n Crunch in those locked cabinets like they do razor blades and cigarettes.
