RIGHT!

Use your freedom of choice folks, nobody is twisting your arm.
MikeyB's post is the best response I have read yet to this ongoing nonsense. He understands the sale process starts somewhere - the negotiation.
Jen drives it home. You have all done it on something at some stage, the DVD player, 50inch plasma, Fridge, Car, House, and what's your best CASH price? I always have and always will go in low, sometimes get a no, sometimes get an absolute bargain, sometimes save 20-40%, never pay advertised price on new or used. And yes when I sell it I will try and get top $. Am I a sleaze? (actually those who know me don't respond) Never had a seller collapse on the floor calling me names (I'm sure the thought was there). The negotiating part can be very entertaining, I have gone in real low and after to and frowing ended up paying much closer to the advertised price, because..... I wanted it.
