@dick_turpin My response would be: βKeyboards are Β£20 and Mice are Β£15.

@buzz0x0000 TBH, I wanted to sell them separately, but they come in the same box. I'd have made more money. LOL

@dick_turpin Perhaps they couldn't believe you'd charge Β£25 just for a mouse?

@buzz0x0000 Oh, mate, I was a tad techy. I could understand it if they'd asked for something expensive; I'd expect hesitance and the need for reassurance that they were getting value for money, but when the email starts out, "As cheap as possible......." I'm like, "I can't be arsed with this; here have this, now fook off." π€£

@dick_turpin Exactly! After the software crash in 2000, I was completely burned out. Decided to go as far as I could from that, and became a building contractor. Was pretty good until then, the housing crash. But, I had one whole city, completely filled with assholes. Very quickly went to charging anyone there, triple my normal rates. I figured if they wanted it bad enough, I could suck it up.
