    Spoiled Brats!

    Good find, MJ. Rep+++. (What do you say we go communist and redistribute some of that? ;)) I'm not going to argue specifics either in an effort to keep this non-political, but I will say one thing: In order to advance and improve as a society, we must be -- at least to some extent --...

    Cheap Education!!

    Further proof that Costco=greatness. What do people think about De Roos? I know I've heard his name before, but I can't remember what the general concensus on him was.

    Negotiating vs. Low-Balling

    HOT! 
    Thank you very much, Russ. And I guess by low-balling, I really meant trying to pinch every penny out of the other party. Low-balling is really just throwing out a low offer; I guess it really isn't a technique of negotiating.

    Negotiating vs. Low-Balling

    HOT! 
    Good lesson. That sounds more along the lines of how I'd like to do business. Quick question: I know I've heard the acronym "M.O." used many times before and it usually makes sense, but what does it mean exactly? Btw, rep+++ to all for their responses. Good stuff.

    Negotiating vs. Low-Balling

    HOT! 
    Agreed. Any a**hole can con someone out of a deal and get a steal -- obviously some are better than others at this, but usually these types of deals are not creative. Win-win deals are usually the result of creativity and good problem-solving skills, not out-negotiating the other party and...

    Negotiating vs. Low-Balling

    HOT! 
    Good point -- I guess that's why I connected it with RE a little more than a car sales. Car salesmen are usually known to screw customers, so I guess they'd just be getting a taste of their own medicine. However, I'd still probably rather keep my integrity and just get something fair done. It...

    I was going to make a post about this a little while ago when I first encountered the following quote, but I didn't get around to it until I was reading the discussion in this thread and thought it was appropriate. I'm starting a new thread because I didn't wanna hijack the other one any more...

    better possible winner?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Eagle, I applaud you for taking action. Planning probably would have been the better option, but some people are better at working on the fly. At some point, though, I would definitely suggest coming up with some sort of plan. The sooner the better, too. It seems like you need to identify...

    Do You Think Like An Entrepreneur?

    I tried to keep it honest instead of answering how I knew I should've, and I got a 168. The ambition section killed me, lol.

    I wonder how accurate these are. I've heard that we've taken these in school before, but I don't think we ever got to see our scores...weird. I'll have to take a real one some time.

    Your Favorite Car

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Realistically, my first "dream car" would probably be a BMW M3. However, it'd be tough to actually pull the trigger on one because my dad lost all of his grandparents in the Holocaust, so it's tough to support companies that helped such a cause -- nothing personal to anyone who is German, and I...
