My Honey's Deal

Matt has done it again. I never cease to be amazed at his ability to get a deal. We were searching for a TV for our bedroom, but we did not want to spend too much money (the TV we had in our room, which was from Matt's childhood days, finally died). There was a TV advertised on Craigslist for $100. Via email, Matt asked the seller if he would be willing to sell it for $50. The seller said yes. When Matt went over to pick the TV up, he noticed that there were slight discolorations on the top corners of the TV, and the TV did not have a remote. Matt then told the seller that he would have to think about it and just stood there for a few minutes trying to decide if it was worth $50 (it's a 27" Sony Triniton). I guess that made the seller feel uncomfortable, because he then told Matt that he would take $20 since it had been in his car for 3 months and was missing the remote. And guess what, the Sony remote we have at home works on the TV we just bought!!! Thanks honey, for getting us another deal!
