As is my goal to both disseminate and improve knowledge, including my own,
I will start this thread to deal with anything important you think I may have missed or left out
in the writing of the above article. Comments too on the article are welcome here, and I wish
to improve the above article as necessary, perfecting it more and more as time goes on. Do you find this valuable?

I am afraid that I don't follow what you mean.
Could you please elaborate on the significance of such numbers? Do you find this valuable?

I would think most sellers would be like, "To hell with you!" and just sell it to some one else later. If they're decent salesmen their not gonna get "scared" just cause you're pushing for an even harder deal. Do you find this valuable?

I think a nice quick summary of helpful things to remember would be perfect, with pointers such as, never letting the other person know the true numbers (if you have 10 boxes of ammunition, make them think you have say... 7, or if your group has 10 people only reveal 1-5).
Also on a side note, laser pointers are quite valuable (a red dot on someone's shirt suggests a sniper... weather or not the person with the laser actually has a gun Do you find this valuable?
