[QUOTE=NAF1138] restate offer #2 to drainbead as green wreath (which is what I meant) [/QUOTE] Alright, no problem. Offer has been restated, (which should have been in blue,) and up to **Drain Bead** to accept or reject. Also please note that rejecting an offer should not be in blue or green. Maybe red, if you want to color-flag it, or purple or something. 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anybody-up-for-a-holiday-round-of-haggle/428904.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anybody-up-for-a-holiday-round-of-haggle/428904.md?page=7)
