I'll offer you $120.05 for whatever it is Col ('cos I have NO CLUE what you are selling).

All joking aside, I have dealt a LOT with Col - usually driving down to either meet in person or drop money in a secure pre-arranged place for him. Never been an issue once, and we always came to a mutually agreeable price. If I didn't like the price (which was only once), I'll just say so and walk away from it.But then again, I am not much of haggler - I usually ask directly what someone is comfortable with, and we take it from there.

Our latest transactions were $2000 on a scope (Takahashi) and $150 on some parts - the price on the retail market for the parts alone that I bought was in excess of $450.
