OK, agreed here. I need to specify it a bit more: 1 and 3 are dick moves when they are totally artificial, like saying only 3 left while the stock is around 300

OK, agreed here. I need to specify it a bit more: 1 and 3 are dick moves when they are totally artificial, like saying only 3 left while the stock is around 300 or saying "only 2 hours left" when the time constraints are imaginary. In your case they are not, so I agree that it is interesting to remind people of actually seeing these.
