FYI When negotiating parts with me

Post by Mystic »

If you have something to sell and you ask me how much I would give dont expect me to give a high number even if I know its worth more :P I have ran an auction since I was about 15. My parents have owned an auction since 92 so I am used to starting low :D The way I look at it you can always start low and go higher, but if you go high you cant back out :P No disrespect intended that is just how it goes, we all like bargains and I am going to try and get them if I can get away with it hahaha

I always low-ball to start. I learned to * in SE Asia. Sometimes a guy gives you a price and you say OK, he wouldn't sell it to you, * is a life style and fun for them. Breaks up a long day too.

A lot of Americans do not understand the * system. If they are buying a car maybe, but most things are the price on the label.

LOL I am American as you can get, my 6th great grandfather founded Fort Nashboro which is present day Nashville TN. I am just used to bargaining especially if the stuff is used, its sort of a habit now :D If you know how to talk to people you can get some good stuff sometimes
