Do low ball offers upset you?

Not even with chocolate cake?

If ya buy and sell music equipment, it's all part of doing business. Sometimes I've even paid exactly the listed price, but other times I'll show interest to buy won't commit. On two differant deals, the seller has pursued ME with a lower offer after not being able to sell it. I got a nice, flawless '06 USA Telecaster that way.(400USD)

THAT'S NOT CASH.

It's not, but when you've already spent that £400 on something else in there store and you're just part ex'ing old gear towards the new stuff...it's a hefty chunk, and a very pleasant surprise in terms of "depreciation".

Try learning to see this as more than just money you can put in your pocket.

Sure, and that's valid, but it's a totally different issue than the one under discussion, however, and explicitly different from my guideline to which you compared it.

We are discussing cash sales, not deferred trades with dealers.

I haggle everything. I don't think I'd have ever been laid if I wasn't for a good haggle.

Do you bargain for a gallon of milk at the grocery store check out line?

Do you pay $3.99 for a new car and pour it over your corn flakes?

Why yes I do. It's simultaneously sets the price point at a nice low figure to start negotiations and also lets the seller know that I'm a little bit crazy so he/she better not mess with me and give me whats I want.

A little bit? Who are you kidding, maki?

fruity pebbles are messy. Fruit loops work much better.

you probably just use nipple hoops

I low ball people constantly on Craigslist. Enough of them and someone will bite. It's kind of like playing the odds with women out of your league - ask enough of them and odds demand that one will say yes. You gotta play to win!

 

[Rickett Customs]

I'm more of a sandbagger than a lowballer.

 

[bongomania]

Really? 'Cause I heard you were more of a teabagger.

 

[Rich L]

If I'm asking $500 for something and I get an offer of $200, I'll kindly let them know I'd rather smash it a hammer than give it away.

SHHHHHH.....That's on the DL

I guess I was open for it.

zing!

 

[Rickett Customs]

Sigged!

 

[mkrtu9]

You just teabagged the thread...sick

I don't necessarily lowball sellers, but I find what I want and find several of them for sale. Whoever goes to the lowest price wins my money.
