Lying on televsion

Yeah - it's like real estate speak: "Close to Transit" means the back window overlooks the El.

Perhaps he was not lying.Maybe he was telling the truth, as he sees it.
Remember what George Costanza said when Jerry asked him how to beat the lie detector? George said: "It's not a lie if you believe it".

 

+1 for the highly relevant Seinfeld quote. Well played.

 

More like one should never rent an apartment in any city without a day time and evening visit...

Close to restaurants means you can chew on the smell of roasted garlic from the kebab shop downstairs 24x7

Close to entertainment means you don't need a radio, since the music from bar downstairs will keep you up until 2am anyway

 

And that smoky smell is really pot from the bar downstairs....

 

Once, when thinking about listing our 1924 Seattle home, a local real estate agent said to include the phrase "old world charm". I guess that means never updated since originally built.

 

Cast-iron pipes, wood-burning kitchen stove, outhouse, etc.

 

"The Chopper" on AAN showed a picture of some 2009 Lincoln Pennies that sold at an auction for $1500 for 1 coin and he sold the 8 Coin Set for $499. The problem is that he showed the auction prices for MS 67 and he was selling SMS 68. He also sells pattern coins that are copies but sold as real.

 

I missed that episode, I was at a Men's Conference.

 

Oh trust me these shows feed off the inexperience and lets say it...people's ignornance of coins. These salespeople are good TOO...If I did not the difference between F - VF ...etc then they seem to be very convincing. It kills me that they can go to sleep at night knowing they are cheating little old ladies and youngsters out of their hard earned money...it is just disgusting to me.

 

Three easy payments is the bait for the hook.

 

Yeah......I can remember Chambers doing that on his show........

 

I'd no sooner watch that show than I would watch a talk show hosted by Ted Bundy on what to do on a first date.

 

But of course you do realize there is a big difference between "fine" and "Fine". One is just an adjective, the other is a specificly defined statement of preservation quality. Problem is you can't HEAR the difference when they are spoken and I guarantee you they are using that to their advantage.

 

I like coin shows. There are no commercial interruptions right when they are getting to the good part.

 

Unless you are at one where they do hourly door prize drawings.

 

I flipped to one on Saturday for giggles they were selling Morgans for $64.95, thats double if not triple what you can get them for from a reasonable dealer.

 

At LEAST I can stand watching Barry-SOMETIMES they have a good deal but not always. Ive gotten to know him and EVERY TIME they have some super dooper special I call him out on it and he moans about the high overhead they have.......but OBVIOUSLY they have plenty of suckers!!

 

I don’t know what you’re all complaining about, this is the FREE market that many have bought into – a market that’s free to do whatever it wants, with no one to answer to.
