[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1696788, member: 6291"] I know this is getting off topic here but if I know I'm going to offer a significantly lower price and I know I'm not going to pay asking price I will say it right up front, on the phone or what ever, before any one has too much time invested. I'll say some thing like... If you would consider taking X amount I'll be there at this date and time with cash in hand and if it all looks good I will take it. I rarely show up to haggle if I'm not willing to pay asking price. The exception being finding some thing that would lower the value that was not disclosed. I dont want to waste either of our time. We had a guy that was buying pipe say he would take x mount of pipe at an agreed price and would be there in a couple days to pick it up. The morning we all show up to load him out he started trying to negotiate, holding cash in his hand... saying stuff like I'm here now... blag blah blah. I busted out laughing at the guy but quoted down when I realized I was the only one laughing.😄 When the guy finally stopped I saw my uncle look up at my dad and I could feel the words through the silence. There was a long pause... then I heard... Get the &@#% of this property and dont ever come back... in a tone that I knew meant business from my younger days. My uncle chimed in with... it will sit here and rust away before we play that $&!% with you.... Then I started laughing again.🤣🤣🤣 That blew my mind. I guess people actually do that? I saw the guy in town at a restaurant a couple days after and he looked up at me as I walked by and I couldnt help but start laughing again. [/QUOTE]
