![]() Okay why is it that when ppl post there stuff for sale people feel the need to offer them not like 5 or 10 dollars less but like 100-150 dollars less?
I just don't understand. When i buy something off here i feel that they are already taking a big enough hit on it on it so i pay what they are asking. Maybe because i know what its worth and am just happy not to have to pay brand new price. I dunno...lol Sorry but it just irks me.....;( |

![]() because all you have to do is say nope to low.
you know that in Canada we are one of the few countrys in the world where we just pay what is asked.. in most of the other countries you are expected to deal and some places it is insulting if you don't try get a better deal. take the middle east for example, usaly you would offer about 1/2 of what they are asking.. they counter with "how am I going to feed my family for that amount" and come back with about 75%. then you tell them that is to much and offer about 65%. they may play again or accept it.. then they wrap it and have tea or some other drink with you. In greece it was grappa and you drink it even though I hated it ![]() I know this is not the middel east or the med but whats the harm in asking? don't you try for a deal in the fish stores? Steve

![]() Well there is haggling....and then there is outright insulting someone with your offer. Thing that bugs me about the B/S forums is when you PM someone because you are interested in what they have for sale and they dont have the decency to get back to you with some kind of response. How hard is it to type "sorry someone else beat you to it" ???

![]() what does get me though is when a price is agreed upon, say 100 bucks.. so you get everthing ready and the guy shows up then after its loaded he comes out with ''um.. all I got is 80.00 is that ok?"

![]() but I do thing that any offer for purchase is a private matter and should be done in privat not posted for everyone to see. it is non of anyones business on what you sell something or buy something for.
