How NOT to haggle

[YankeyMCC]

So some of you may have seen my post yesterday about having to sell my Gas Grill which pains me, I've taken very good care of this and I'm asking way to little for it's worth.

So someone at first said they were interested and were coming to get it, then today I get this email as a plea to reduce the price.

"Would you sell this to me for $130? to cover some of my gas cost? I'm coming from worcester driving a Tundra and have to go through tolls and all..

Just a little request.."

LOL ... Sorry sir, it's not My fault you drive a gas guzzler.

1. Which end of the state are you on?

Seriously, regardless, the tolls in either direction can't be more than..$3?

:rofl:

2. I'm near Boston, but west of it

so yeah the tolls would be less than $3.

3. Like...$1.80....LOL

:rofl: If that. What a tool.

4. I always feel like I'm selling what I have at a more than fair price

And most of the time it's at a loss anyways so when someone tries to haggle with me it's an insult and I make my price go even higher each time they go lower. After I've added $20 or more to the original price they then agree to the original price which I tell them is no longer valid for them wasting my time.

5. when i put my old weber on the curb for big trash pick up some of the people

that cruise around looking for good free stuff came by and starting taking the parts of the grill, first went the lid and then someone took the grates, the last one came by and knocked on my door and asked if i had any propane left in the tank and where was the tank anyway? The tank was in my back yard and i wasn't giving it away.

"What?"

"It's for the wife."

"Oh. Uhhh, twenty shekels."

"Right."

"What?"

"There you are."

"Wait a minute."

"What?"

"Well, we're — we're supposed to haggle."

"No, no. I've got to get..."

"What do you mean, 'No, no, no'?"

"I haven't time. I've got..."

"Well, give it back, then."

"No, no, no! I just paid you!"

"Burt!"

"Yeah?"

"This bloke won't haggle!"

"Won't haggle?!"

"All right. Do we have to?"

"Now, look — I want twenty for that.""

"I... I just gave you twenty."

"Now, are you telling me that's not worth twenty shekels?"

"No."

"Look at it! Feel the quality! That's none of your goat!"

"All right. I'll give you nineteen then."

"No, no, no! Come on, do it properly!"

"What?"

"Haggle properly! This isn't worth nineteen!"

"Well, you just said it was worth twenty!"

"Oh, dear, oh, dear. Come on, haggle!"

"Huh. All right. I'll give you ten."

"That's more like it. Ten?! Are you trying to insult me?! Me, with a poor dying grandmother?! Ten?!"

"All right, I'll give you eleven."

"Now you're gettin' it! Eleven?! Did I hear you right?! Eleven?! This cost me twelve! You want to ruin me?!

"Seventeen?"

"No, no, no, no! 'Seventeen'."

"Eighteen?"

"No, no! You go to fourteen now!"

"All right, I'll give you fourteen."

"Fourteen?! Are you joking?!"

"That's what you told me to say."

"Oh, dear."

"Oh, tell me what to say! Please!"

"Offer me fourteen."

"I'll give you fourteen."

"He's offering me fourteen for this!"

"Fifteen!"

"Seventeen. My last word. I won't take a penny less, or strike me dead!"

"Sixteen."

"Done. Nice to do business with you."

"Huh?"

"Tell you what. I'll throw you in this as well."

"I don't want it, but thanks."

"Burt!"

"Yeah?"

"All right, all right, all right!"

"Now, where's the sixteen you owe me?"

"I just gave you twenty!"

"Oh, yeah, that's right. That's four I owe you, then."

"Well, that's all right. That's fine, that's fine."

"No, hang on. I've got it here somewhere."

"That's all right. That's four for the gourd."

"Four? For this gourd? Four?! Look at it! It's worth ten if it's worth a shekel!"

"But you just gave it to me for nothing!"

"Yes, but it's worth ten!"

"All right, all right!"

"No, no, no, no! It's not worth ten. You're supposed to argue: 'Ten for that? You must be mad!' Oh, well — one born every minute."
