Australian rock art is now decipherable thanks to a new computer program -- (link) - Peglegpete Apr 4, 12:27 1
- I'd dispute that it's deciphering. It's classifying by style which we already do, but maybe it does it quicker and better. -- nm - Meg Apr 4, 12:47

      - which is kind of why I asked "is it bitchy to sell for more?" I try to treat potential buyers as I would like to be treated in their shoes. - amanda jeans Apr 4, 11:37 1
        
        Its not bitchy to sell for more. Give people a chance, but its ok to move on. $80 lady may not take it like you said -- nm - stim-mie Apr 4, 11:41
- You take the $80. -- nm - Spawn Apr 4, 11:16 8
  - FBM and CL are rather flaky. Take first offer that arrives with cash. Schedule them, but its on them -- nm - stim-mie Apr 4, 11:18 7
    - I tell $80 that another is coming at 5pm unless they come at 4pm. -- nm* - Spawn Apr 4, 11:21 4

    - Tell them to text when nearby, then give them the address. Only give to a couple or a few. Guaratees it sells. -- nm - stim-mie Apr 4, 11:19 6

        Guaranteed sell is with cash in hand and the item is in their posession. People can say anything up until then -- nm - stim-mie Apr 4, 11:29 3
