[QUOTE="TwoForFlinching, post: 3553546, member: 24500"] If 10% off asking is acceptable as not low-balling though, how do you get there without first hitting at 15-20%? I've personally never accepted a first offer, but been willing to wheel and deal doing the traditional 'old ways' dance. In buying, I'll usually start at that 15-20% mark looking to meet in the middle at 10% below asking. If a seller balks at an offer in disgust, it's the ego of that takes offense. It's just not a question of a bad buyer... it's as much his responsibility to buy something for as low as possible as it is the sellers responsibility to get as much as possible. If a seller can't reply a simple and polite "No," they just aren't born for the sales side all this. [/QUOTE]
