or if I’m feeling argumentative i deliberately with malice aforethought answer:

I wait patiently and then say, “I am asking 1.7 million for my property, firm.” And then go quiet. They tell me then that that’s ridiculous and I answer them, “First, you cold-called me. Second, I’m a capitalist and seek a profit of great magnitude if I were to have to move, because it’s gotta be worth my time and energy. Yeah, and goodbye to you.”

I never hear from that company again.
