Black Light (9)

Original Internet Ad:
Black light – $50

5 yrs old but still works fine. $50 OBO.

Negotiation Strategy:
Research has shown that mispelling someone’s name is a sign of disrespect. By showing “Steve” that I don’t care enough to notice his name, I’m also proving to him how uninterested I am in the deal, thereby putting me at a better bargaining position.

Heya,

Is this some kind of scam? Isn’t that like selling a legless runner or something. What’s the point of having light if it’s black?

This is a black light. It emits UV light so in the dark you can see certain things. google “special Olympics” because many disabled people participate, even some without legs.

Steven,

That’s pretty weird. They must be really slow so that seems pretty dumb. Do they crawl? I guess that might be funny to watch.

So about this light…I think I’ve seen them in action before. The police were over one time and had one in my shed. It was just a routine check, not a big deal (a girl went missing in the neighborhood but obviously it wasn’t me). But I remember that it lit up a lot of the shed because there is so much blood spilled in there (animal only, honestly lol!).

Confirm that this is the type of light you are selling. If it identifies blood then actually, I’m pretty interested.

Ned

Yes this is the light that picks up blood, sperm & iron oxide but i believe you need to spray some chemicals first ~ steve

Stephen,

Pretty worried that this investment would shatter during shipping. You think you could package it up nicely and show me the box?

Ned

yep, shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll wrap it up in some bubblepaper and then put it in a cardboard box.

Stevey,

No way, that’s not going to do. Please use 3 rolls of paper towel, 4 layers of bubble wrap, and then put the bulb in a vacuum sealed box with shower gel. Obviously before shipping, we would need to test it to make sure you packaged it properly…no offense. So toss it off your rooftop and see if any damage is done. If not, repackage it and send it to me. I’ll send you my address after receiving photo evidence of this testing.

Ned

ned, you cant be serious, that just won’t work. And do you honestly think I’m going to test a $50 light in that kind of packaging?

Stefanie,

Yes I think that’s a pretty reasonable request. I would do it for you…

What do you say Stefan?
