    Default What's your best price?

    Do people actually ever respond with a price when someone asks someone what their best price is for something their selling? Are people stupid or just too lazy to negotiate?

    Cool

    When asked, "Whats the lowest you'd take"......

    ....I always reply, "Whats the most you'd pay".

    I normally price things to sell, so I don't normally
    play pricing games. I explain this nicely to folks and
    they usually purchase from me.....at my asking price.

    In some cultures, it is expected to "haggle" over the price,
    no matter what it is.

    What's my best price? The price I posted in the ad. When people email lowball offers I reply with an amount higher than the ad. I had my 2012 Camaro listed for $17.5k. I got about 20 offers a day for anywhere from $12.5 -$15k. My reply was always "For you $18.5k".

    Honestly, it really isn't a half bad question, because it is amazing the amount of people that will start already coming down in price.

    I never talk prcing unless its face to face

    most people dont have the balls face to face that they do over the phone/text/email

    To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."

    I recently bought a 61 Caddy off eBay in Rhode island, and it was a 'best offer' auction. I called the lady, we talked about the car, and I told her I couldn't make an offer without seeing the car in person, and asked what it would take to buy it. She told me a price that I felt was fair, and I bought it. I hated being 'that guy', but I didn't really have a choice.

    That being said, I will never buy a car sight unseen again without having it inspected first.
    I used to be 'with it'. Then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm 'with' isn't 'it', and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me.......

    I never ask whats your best price. I ask "how negotiable are you on the price." It gives me a feel on what kind of offer I can make without insulting the person.

    Ask me that, I'll tell you to go fuck yourself. The price is the price.
