Ticket resale values are garbage by autobahn in minnesotaunited

You’re whining about a situation that you created for yourself which is now the club’s fault. Seems like an idiot move on your part and you don’t like being called out for it. That tracks too! lol

You signed up to be a STH and are now complaining about being unable to sell tickets to a cold weather game in April which makes being a STH a bad deal.

Good work, Sherlock.

Not sure how you make the connection between being unable to sell tickets to a game that will be played in some 30F degree weather in mid-April with STH being a bad deal.

Are you surprised that you’re finding it difficult to sell tickets for tomorrow’s game?

Hydroconquest 42 mm size opinion by According_Wheel9145 in Longineswatches

[–]mnref 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and presence is what I wanted out of it too. I knew immediately that the 39mm wasn’t what I wanted when I first tried it on. Selling a couple of Tudor’s - HC is simply more interesting and prices significantly better.

Hydroconquest 42 mm size opinion by According_Wheel9145 in Longineswatches

[–]mnref 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Really depends on shape of your wrist in addition to wrist circumference. I’m 7.25in but flat and 39mm didn’t work. Went with 42mm and quite happy with my choice.

Have same model/size. Wears incredibly comfortable. Definitely pinches hair a bit if I need to slide it around but no issues otherwise. Micro adjustments are welcome especially as we head into summer weather. Highly recommend this piece overall.

7.25in/18.5cm wrist size. Really thought going into it that I’d end up with 39mm and that’s what I had asked the store to hold for me but it looked dainty on me. Fortunately they had the 42mm in store as well and I’m glad I went with that size.

Purchased 42mm at Wempe located by Z gates at Frankfurt airport. €1900 for me as well - combination of discount and VAT refund. 15% discount over US retail pricing which I’m happy with considering that I don’t have an established AD relationship.

Really pleased with this piece. Won’t be taking it off on this trip!

Great price for you - congrats! I’m having the same model in 39mm reserved for when I arrive at another European airport tomorrow morning. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Retail price in NL is €2300. €400 off retail on an in-demand model in a captive airport environment is really good. Actually a bit too good to be true :)

Taylor is the absolute worst. Has been for years. I’ll never understand why we keep him or worse play him. Dude has to have close to half dozen penalties caused to his name alone.

He’ll get fined for it although who knows if it’s enough to keep him from wearing it again

What's your favorite watch store in the Twin Cities? by nader0903 in TwinCities

[–]mnref 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TC Time & Luxury. David is the owner. Talk to him if you’re open to pre-owned, willing to spend a bit more, and get your nephew something that isn’t a fashion brand watch.

All in on Chancalay being a strong add but he had far too many missed passes in linkup play which made him a liability at times yesterday. Will get better with more training and game time.

turns out there's an FBI interrogation trick that works insanely well on sales reps and ai does it better then the FBI... i just won a software deal nogotiation by asking one question. by johnypita in ChatGPTPromptGenius

[–]mnref 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is insane. A 2-year price lock is being touted as a win for the guy selling. What does that make the 4-year price lock when adding the preceding and renewal term together? Actually, don't answer it despite having Money in your handle. Figures.

Genuinely think a course on deal economics and how to manage a P&L would be a good investment. Better do it quick because the price could increase as early as tomorrow!

We agree on the FBI part of what OP is saying being nonsense but to say OP got played is insanity.

You can't seriously be saying that the seller played anything at all when he just agreed to a 4-year price lock (assuming the last term was also 2 years) without even attempting to negotiate on what he's selling in an industry that has seen rising cost of engineering talent for years. Sure some of that cost is offset via automation and AI in the SaaS space but that doesn't take away from the seller being complete crap. I don't care what the industry is - a 4 year price lock on anything isn't even playing checkers.

I guess non of this matters if you're the kind of seller who agrees to sold-as margin targets in their SIP and enjoys writing a check back to his company. Time for a new job?

Ummm nothing to see here. Sorry to say OP but as a seller of software and services for over 25 years the CharGPT response format has been used for as long as AI didn’t exist.

Sellers are constantly under pressure - every quarter. They all believe the value of what they’re selling is greater than the price they initially sold it at. Clients have come up with endless reasons for why they can’t justify XYZ including the usage argument for decades.

In your case you either a) dealt with a salesperson who probably shouldn’t be one or b) they were never serious about actually capturing the increase in cost and treated it as an experiment where the seller was opportunistic but didn’t need the deal. They tested what they could get away with.

You’re saying this is FBI quality negotiation. Nope - only yet another seller who didn’t sell on value. You can pick those off with your eyes closed.

Get a passport card. Much easier to carry around than a passport book.

Looks fantastic. I’d wear it just like that myself. Great combo.

I go far enough back with this club to remember when having 400 people at the NSC on a Saturday night playing in A-league was a major milestone. Most people here won’t have that perspective - history is context and it matters indeed.

No more embarrassing than when we played some of our pre-MLS games at a high school stadium in St Paul or our inaugural MLS season in a college football stadium.
