<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 2529228, member: 51347&quot;]I have been in the business world all of my career, and being in a family of business owners, I have learned:&nbsp; Always treat the business you are doing with respect and that you will be working with that person in the future.&nbsp; I never really look at asking a discount, as &quot;sales&quot;, &quot;discounts&quot;, time dependent &quot;special prices&quot; as all of that are marketing hype.&nbsp; Rather, I like to review the market, review the economic conditions, review my needs, etc. and offer what I feel is a fair price for BOTH parties.&nbsp; I am more interested in striking a trust between us for the transaction.&nbsp; If we are both happy, future business can be beneficial for both of us again.&nbsp; Sometimes a reasonable price could be 50% of what a person is offering.&nbsp; The market may had changed, or perhaps they were not aware.&nbsp; Sometimes, I may feel the offered price is 50% of what it should be.&nbsp; That is a deal for me.&nbsp; There are truly no set prices for anything.&nbsp; It is what the market will bear that is the actual price.</p><p><br /></p><p>So when I offer a price, I am usually coming from the position that both of us should benefit.&nbsp; After all, we are a communicative species:&nbsp; either side of the transaction can say &quot;no&quot; at any point.&nbsp; Asking is no harm, no foul.&nbsp; All a &quot;no&quot; is in a transaction is a YES answer with the conditions not being met by both parties.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
