Is there some specific reason for placing $-mark before price or dollar amount?

good question\n\nit's just convention, it could easily have been the other way

Actually they're both different transactions. It's all part of a negotiation tactic. One usually tries to get the most value up front, so we try to get two cents out of them. When they feel reluctant to put their two cents in, we can take the next step and make a deal they can't refuse: we'll pay them to tell us their thoughts. But notice that it's not two pennies for your thoughts. That would create a negative cash flow. It's all written off as a marketing expense anyway.

next to the 0(zero key)is the hyphen-   push the hyphen key and shift at the same time.\n\nso instead of -, you will get _.\n\nYAY!

I think the simplest way to solve this is to move the decimal place over one to the left.   If for example they wanted 1% you would move it over two to the left.  If they wanted .01% three to the left.  If they wanted .001% four to the left.  You get the point. \n\nSo 10%= $2500

I'm pretty sure that violates some eBay listing policy, so I wouldn't expect it to last until the end of the auction, BUT...\n\nIf they say "'one' of the denominations isn't X" that pretty much means that  the others are (a joke fully covered on an episode of Scrubs, just in case you couldn't figure it out for yourself).\n\nSo, if there are 30 bills ("at least 30" means 30), only two denominations and "one" isn't a single and "one" isn't a five, I'd say there are probably 29 ones and one five. If they want more than 34 bucks, they're ripping you off.\n\n\nEDIT: the other responder missed something--it doesn't say there are at least ten bills of EACH denomination, it says there will be no less than ten bills of ONE of the denominations. $34.

Why?  That is the nature of competition.  There are only so many consumer dollars out there (or yen, or pounds, or whatever), and you have to know what other people are offering in order to choose what you will offer for those dollars or whatever.  So, for example, you may want to offer something similar, but at a better price, or something of higher quality in the same category, or with greater variety in colors and styles, whatever.  You have to have information because you can bet those guys are going to have information about what you are doing, and try to cut into your customer base.  The law of supply and demand!

Twenty cents and a misspelling?

Sounds like someone is having delusions of grandeur, or have you bothered converting rupees to US dollars yet?\n\n\nDarryl S.

In marketting thats playing on the consumer's psychie. A product told to you worth 199 Rs./$ sounds much cheapey than something worth 200 Rs./$. Thats because there is a sudden change in the first digit of the value; and one would always be less than 2. Hence the play of a consumers' psychology. And it really affects the sales. I'm sure somebody morethan anybody else telling you , you would be able to analyse it for yourself when u undergo a simmilar situation.

i'm not sure how accurate this is but apparently the dollar ($) symbol originally started off as a letter "U" superimposed onto a letter "S" to indicate that the currency was from the US and over time the bottom of the U was dropped off as the dollar was adopted by other countries so it was just left as an S with 2 vertical lines through it.\ni'm not too sure about the other currency symbols though.

YES! do u know one dollar is worth ten pesos over there? People come here because the almighty US dollar is worth more and is valued anywhere in the world. No one wants to take land away from the US, it's about making ends meet.

Well, I think two pretty typical errors I've seen would be transposing (when you're meant to type in $10,480 but you type in $10,840) and misclassifying items (like putting a prepaid expense in Long-term Assets when it's Current).\n\nHope this helps!

It is a error either done by a worn die or a struck through grease or dirt it only raises the price of the dime a few cents in low grade maybe up to $0.50 in high grade. \n\nThey are very common and sometime will lower the value of a coin.

you're a few years behind. German Marks no longer exist. They're replaced by euro. 150 US dollars are worth 117,34 euro at present.

I always remember it like this: it shows the text between the tags PREcisely the way it's entered.\n\nAnd it used to be used to show the code of computer programs.  In most programming languages, indentation of certain lines reveals the structure of the program (in some languages, indentation is mandatory).  To get it right without the PRE tag required a lot of toying with spaces (read: non-breaking spaces!) to get it more or less right.\n\nInside PRE tags it's a lot easier: all spaces are shown, and all characters have the same width (non-proportional characters).  Exactly what you'd want when formating computer code.
