If you don't think it's worth more than $320, you can keep reminding the seller that, if it doesn't sell for the asking price and they decide to accept less, you're there with your offer. The seller obviously didn't understand that there was a limit to the resolution and would only say "you can set it higher" instead of giving the proper information.HogieWanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470761688977255315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252825334541723010.post-69317455763038736332008-10-01T12:31:00.000-07:002008-10-01T12:31:00.000-07:00I completely agree with you that the anonymity of ...I completely agree with you that the anonymity of the internet gives people the ability to say and do things they wouldn't in person.
