Also I have enough anxiety issues with driving. I'm not willing to try bartering with strangers in person.
My haggling/bartering skills are non-existent. I just get walked all over. When I'm home with something I don't want, then I get pissy and start pretending to win the argument, thinking to myself, 'I wish I'd said this' or 'I wish I'd said that. He would have soooo caved.' Alas, my more brutish qualities have yet to present themselves.

That looks really cool. I love simple looking combos like that.

Like, if the stuff works, I just give them what we agreed by email (which is usually what they asked, because if they are asking a lot in their ad, I don't bother). The barter system in the musical instrument community is an important tradition, though. Gear for gear!
Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.
I hate low-ballers though. There are many on the local Irish advert websites who will offer half the asking and hope for the best. I've seen some people accept the offer out of desperation, and the offer is then rescinded with the comment 'sorry dont want it nymore'. People just like to low-ball and see if the buyers takes it. Sometimes they have the money for it, sometimes they don't.

Got a bit of a dilemma though because while the RRR sounds way better than the Hall of Fame in general, the HoF does things the RRR doesn't like crazily long decays and modulated reverb, both of which I love. But 2 verbs seems excessive! hmm...
Don't doubt yourself, my friend. Two reverbs is far from excessive, one before dirt and tremolo, and one after. The one that can go 100% wet should be before dirt and tremolo. It makes for such a cool sound.
