That's funny because when buying things from Craigslist I try to round the price to an even number since the transaction will always be cash and few people have enough small bills to make change.

For instance if the asking is $125, I'll offer $120 since I don't want to find a $5 bill or make the person find change for the extra $20 bill I'd have to use. I've even rounded up a few times to make it easy, though some people have been so insistent that they even resorted to giving me quarters.



Yeah, that makes sense. If they'd have offered me a round number anywhere near my asking price I'd have just said yes, for much the same convenience reason you cited. But in this particular instance they had Venmo so just paid me the exact amount.
