[QUOTE="gboulton, post: 1377467, member: 27043"]I love those two phrases. :) Any phrase like that is, to me, the first admission of doubt. The seller might as well be saying "Maybe you're right, this _____ isn't worth what I'm asking, so I'm going to try to intimidate you by sounding tough and firm." out loud. He's said, essentially, "I've lost control of this conversation, and am trying to take it back." That's the time to get MORE aggressive. :) "Really? Doesn't seem like throwing it away's going to do much for you bottom line. Look...my offer of ____ is a fair price, and I'm standing here with cash in my hand right now. Now, if you want to toss it in the trash, or take your chances someone else thinks it's better than it is, go ahead. I bet I have better luck finding another seller than you do finding another buyer though."[/QUOTE]
