<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 2529486, member: 74834&quot;]As an old book seller, people are asking for discounts all the time. We are giving a standard 10 % discount to colleagues and to some nice and faithful clients. For the others, we always consider. Sometimes you can, sometimes you can&#039;t. A lot depends on the way it is asked. Most sellers are human, too, you know. A friendly question will be rewarded, a haughty &#039;bid&#039; because you are deemed much too expensive has less chance. </p><p>As for asking twice what you bought the object for, I&#039;m afraid that&#039;s very reasonable - if you are a professional. You have to pay taxes (very high in Europe), rents, insurance and other overhead costs, we have to feed three mouths and try to keep some money in the till for the next buy. And people keep asking for discounts, so you almost never receive 100 % of what you are asking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
