Curious about the shower head request

Post by WTPayne »

Okay, within 48 hours, this requester has purchased 0 articles - and has changed the request to say that 7 of the 12 articles are no longer needed.

Any idea what's up with that?

It appears that the customer plans on purchasing. Maybe the plan is to purchase all of them at once. The articles that are no longer needed may be ones that he has selected for purchase.

There is a golf request that has had no bites . . .

Golf?

Well, I'd have to do some heavy research on golf, since I love the nice long walk, but don't understand why we carry around the heavy bag before we get to the bar.

I live down the street from a golf course. No one walks or lugs bags around. That is, I presume, what the carts are for?

Without the exercise, I don't work up a good thirst!

The Golf Request - Serious this time

I just looked at that request, and a 1500 word magazine article should be about $90 to $150, that might explain why there aren't any bites on it.

You can't always go by what the requester has asked. Sometimes he or she will purchase a good article at a higher price if it meets the needs of their publication, or if they realize that they can't get what they need at the lower price. Many customers will take a chance and see if writers will produce at a low-ball offer.

No one else seems to have a problem working up a thirst, whether riding, walking, or taking a nap. You are an anomaly.

Hmm... seems I've heard that said about me quite often since I was about 5
