A Hustler's Guide To Buying And Selling Anything (Part 1)

[DeletedUser394]

Too bad that almost everyone is doing this.

I'd love a few tips on dropping the price though.

For example, I need to buy some new work hardware.

This means a big desk, some chairs, a conference table, two IBM laptops, a video projector.

I want to buy them all SH. If you can give me some pointers on dropping the price at least 10%, you're my hero

(I've never haggled before on price and with one small exception, it's the first time I buy this way)

This is easy enough. If you want 10% off, make your offer at 80% of asking price. Most buyers will meet in the middle.

Example: The item costs $100. You offer $80. He counters at $90. You win, and everyone's happy.

10% is really easy... ~40%+ takes some work.

*And while many people may be doing this, they are either too lazy, have no ambition, give up too soon, are just too stupid, etc. There are ~7billion? people on earth..so there's always someone to sell something to.
