Now as for the daily deals, I don't care for how it will not give an inch on a price, I mean I have offered a great price but it is to high and even when i go higher YOU folks don't give an inch Over all I very happy cause if I lose one bid It will show up again So folks READ before you buy and Know what you are getting into with any auction type deals, Folks will overpay for certain items, Research and know what you are willing to pay, don't go with the hype, You will not get rich.
