Make sure the nib on the tip of the avo is intact. If it's not the avo
tends to rot rather than ripen.

Also check the skin for punctures/dents that also facilitate rotting.

I only buy ripe avos for guac. I like to buy them green and let them
ripen.

A local produce stand currently has Mexican Haas avos for $0.79 each. And
that's in Pennsylvania. The ACME supermarket (across the street) has ripe
and puny avos "on sale" 2 for $3.00. The BUMS!!!
