"What's your price?"

[RodISHI]

"What is your price?" I'm wondering what would you be willing to sell yourself for. I've been called stupid a lot of times in my life and even told in the last few years that I deserved whatever was dished out to me here because I refused to "sell out".

How much would it cost to purchased your beliefs?

Are they for sale at any cost?

If so, "what's your price"? How much would you take to save yourself a lot of headache, work and grief in this world?

What does this mean? What would we have to do? Spend my day's going door to door preaching?

 

[manifold]

I have no idea what you're actually asking here Rod.

$75 and a free hot dog.

If you owned something and you had control of something that was worth more than multiple millions and you believed that you could do more good with that which you owned long term if you controlled it would you sell it for mere cash to people who simply wanted to have control? Would you give it up for cash and the comforts that cash can buy?

I was simply asked, "what's your price?" And told "everyone has one, what's yours?".

Confirmation that you are a cheap date does not count.

Oh...I misinterpreted your question.

$90...no hot dog.

 

[KittenKoder]

My freedom is not for sale, period.

 

[roomy]

If I didn't need the money I wouldn't compromise my beliefs for it, if I needed the money, who knows.

worth more than multiple millions? You couldn't do squat with that, so I say sell if they offer more then it's worth.
Look at Bill Gates, he's got $50 billion to spend for good. He ain't done shit that I know of yet, except maybe give some poor kids computers, so they can eventually pay for an upgrade to Windows Bloz 2010.

What is my price? That totally depends on the situation. Just like with work, there are things I'm willing to do for money and then there are the ones I'd never do - no matter how much money it'd be worth.

Then there are situations such as when your child is dying and you have no money for doctors - in which case I'd do just about anything. No matter what the consequences would be... On some things there really is no price.

For that which you love there is no price that can buy it. I had a Peke that slept on my pillow each night. My grandmother ran him over in our driveway. His pelvic bone and one leg was in thirteen pieces large enough for the vet specialist to get wired back together. He was only three pounds so you can imagine how tiny those pieces were. We were very poor and the bill was going to be over a thousand dollars. I had refurbished some old dressers and picked up various antiques to resell. I was working on one of the dressers when grandma ran him over. I promised the vet I would pay him so he said he would take payments. The seven hundred dollars i made on the sale of all the antiques went to the vet to fix that ball of fluff i loved so much. Some family members had a fit because i would spend that much on him. I told them love has no price that is to great and I love that dog. My grandmother would spend thousands gambling every month yet she bitched about me paying to fix my dog she ran over in my driveway.

Great question!

My price is too high. Only Jesus could pay it!

I am not sure we can actually respond to this unless we are in a situation where that might be a pressing option. I know that I was bought with a price, and I believe I cannot ever consider myself as valuable as Jesus' blood. I cannot imagine being in a place where I would sell out my faith. I have had many tough times when I really hoped God would just come on and get me, but I was never ready to give up on Him.

I am sure that my real and personal relationship with God is never going to have to be measured againse anything else, even under pressure. I can say that I pray I will never sell out. God has been good to me, even when things were bad. I have bookmarks in my life that are firmly planted in my heart, which will hold firm even when the pressure is more than I personally can stand. At this moment, no price would be enough for me to leave my faith, and my relationship with my Heavenly Father.

My response when asked, "what's your price? Everyone has one, what's yours?" for the third time in a fifteen minute conversation after I had already explained that I was not ready to sell the mine at this point was, "I am already bought and paid for. Jesus paid the price for me two thousand years ago. I don't think you can top that".

My hopes for you are that you will remain that strong in that faith also. This world holds nothing compared to the place He has created for those who remain faithful to the end.

Jesus paid the price for me two thousand years ago.

ALERT!

 

[RodISHI]

We already knew that you are John but you can keep confirming that if you like.

At the right price, isn't it reasonable to conclude you could actually do more good with the money than the asset itself, assuming that doing good is indeed the priority?

What you got?

Supposing that the guy had brought in an actual offer other than a dishonest "what's your price?" Considering the entire situation at that moment I would have possibly said let's talk it over and work out a viable deal. I doubt it but it could have been possible.

If you know that you can either sell something for x amount or keep it and grow it into a viable job source for others not controlled by a mega corporation has been a choice for many small businesses. I look at and see that the pie will only slice into x amount of pieces. When you sell it all to the corporates who take theirs first and think of everyone else as peons and secondary I think we have a major problem.

A product that cost a dollar to make owned by corporates now has to sell for six to fifteen in order to support all of the management people and the investors. When cost get cut corporates do not cut their pay first. One privately owned company can pay their employees and support their community locally verses spreading it around to ten thousand or more investors and ten managers that do not live in the local area.
