If perople think they are getting a "deal" then they will move heaven and earth to make it happen.
I have a friend who has drove to Denver to buy a motorcycle just because it was a good "deal". So I asked him what his time was worth and how much was spent on the drive, if you factor that into the great "deal" did he really save any money. Well he looked at me like I was crazy and didn't seem to understand what I was talking about. So I guess I know what his time is worth.
Looks like this guys splittler is still for sale so he is probably a little high or like a lot of CL sellers a lot "HIGH".
