I Caved

For a $1000 off and a fix of the garage door opener's safety switch.

*sigh*

At least it'll all be over soon.

Yeah, it's the "taken" feeling that gets me more than the money itself. Money's only money. But getting conned stings.

There's a difference between getting conned and not wanting to play chicken

Every day, millions of people go to bed at night without saying "if you don't give me a 20% raise, I quit" to their bosses even though they might have been tempted. Some of them would have gotten that raise if only they had been willing to try a little brinksmanship. The problem with brinksmanship is that sometimes the other side has it too. I wouldn't look forward to a game of chicken with two "winners."

You haven't been conned just because you didn't have Evil Kineval's risk tolerance.
