Man it grates me when buyers play the "Whats your best price" game especially after needling you for information and even making shipping arrangements.
What kind of question is that - The asking price is MY best price - Duh!!
Its like asking how long is a piece of string :
Asking "Whats your best price" is just fishing for a bargain , man up and make an offer if you want.
Making an offer and giving your reasons if necessary is par for the course.
Or just make an offer , its a free world but don't try mind games with me!!
There's a satisfaction in negotiating a successful deal , both parties have agreed to a mutually beneficial arrangement.
A buyer asking "Whats your best price" just means the buyer is trying to shaft the seller.
It would appear the buyer is asking : How desperate are you? Then once I know that I can exploit it.
If the buyer is having a hard month financially - fairdeal , let me know that , it feels good to help out a fellow human if I can.
But I know lack of funds is more often than not , not the reason - I once had a guy aggressively try and get my price down on a R450 cooking pot that I had got as a gift - I held firm becuase it was a nice pot and a very good price , the guy rocks up to pick it up in a brand spanking new Audi TT - WTF!!
I have had idiots asking for my best price and then when I give them my best price in good faith they immediately make a lower counter offer.
I honestly shouldn't let this stuff make me cross , but it does push my angry buttons.
What you chaps think about this?
Am I over reacting , is this just one of the games we have to put up with when selling something?
You guys have any techniques for dealing with this bollocks!
