[QUOTE="Luca Brasi, post: 1368987, member: 23282"] I've done it both ways too, but more and more I'm inclined to just set my price and hold to it. I've had them say to me too that they won't buy from anyone who won't dicker. That's perfectly fine with me, it saves us both some frustration. Some people like the game, on both sides. Not me. Dickering is for Arabs and cheapskates. When buying I'll try it if I don't really care if I get it or not. If I think it is a fair price and worth it I will pay the asking price, the same as I want to be treated. I've had sellers act surprised at that, and some even go down without me even asking. I've also been known to turn around and sell something cheaper to a kid or someone who I like or respect, for less than asking, after refusing to come down for someone who I already told no but who keeps trying. Apparently you're not being enough of a jerk if he called back 6 times. He knows that you're wavering. There is no 3rd call for me. [/QUOTE]
