$1,600? My Saint has had two TPLO's, which is the most common surgery for an ACL(CCL in canines) tear. Each Surgery was $5,000+. You got out on the cheap!

Having said that, still 1/12th of the OP's bill.

"but when I finished I filled the BCC with as many permutations of what his email address could be and then hit send."

I've figured out a great way around this. Install rapportive in gmail, compose a new message and start guessing emails. If the email is correct, rapportive will pull up all the information for that person. Bingo! There's the correct address!

I purchased my 4Runner like this. 3 reposts over a month with "4 Runner" and dropped the price $1500 each time. He needed to sell it fast. I got a really good deal.

Last summer I spent a day on a motorcycle tour with two retired IBM salesmen. They reminisced sales stories all afternoon. I couldn't believe the amount of preparation and planned sales tactics they employed. A blue suit was required at all times because blue conveys trust and will result in a higher sale.

I'm working on a project in the HR field. I'd love to chat if you're interested. Chase (at) kegstool (dot) com. Hope to talk soon!

I've been working on this for a while.

HN feedback is always appreciated.

I'm bringing the VeriTrust / BBB model to individuals.

No video. I guess I could put one on YouTube.

Haven't sold any. Sent out a catalogue sheet to all the big box stores and any that were seriously interested wanted to see a sample. Factories quoted me 30-45K just to start. It's definitely on the back-burner, though.

You'd be surprised how many people don't know ad-block exists. I'm not just talking about my 65 year old uncle, John, either. I can only speak from first hand experience, but a majority of my 20-something year old friends are in the dark too.

Only 1% of US internet-goers have it installed. The hard part will be educating the other 99%.

I started www.niblink.com a couple years ago. Failed to get traction / pursued a new venture. The golf industry can be fun. Best of luck.

AdBlock-Plus has made ads virtually irrelevant for me. Sometimes I forget that people are even subjected to them.

Last year, while traveling through eastern Asia, I would occasionally drop by an internet cafe. I couldn't believe the amount of ads non-ABP users had to see. It still baffles me.
