[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 987281, member: 7509"] The thing about the buyer asking you to "knock off the commission" sounds like its coming from someone who has been to one of those negotiating seminars and makes a bit of a game about getting a little bit more off of the price. He is also trying to make you feel bad about the one with a bit of a haze on her eye - another way of getting you down on your price. If he was really concerned about the haze he would take you up on your exchange offer.. He's not concerned, he loves that heifer. That's why he's back trying to buy more. He's just trying to get your price down. Maybe its just me but when I offer someone a fair deal and they start using these negotiating tricks on me, my price starts going up. Then I start bring up the cost of weaning and the shots and how maybe I don't really want to sell them just yet... Offer him what you consider a fair deal and if they try pulling that stuff on you, think of reasons the price really needs to be higher and maybe you won't be selling them right now... Good luck and hang in with these folks. Its really sort of a game some people play. Jim [/QUOTE]
