He just stood there, very politely and in front of the salesman and said, "Linda, I think you ought to get it since you really want it so bad." I wanted him to say, "No, we are not getting that. It is too expensive." Then, the salesman would have come down like I wanted him to. <br /><br />The only time I don't engage the person in combat is when the person is so obviously poor and the deal is already good. I don't have the heart. Plus, when esx-husband and I went to Mexico, the prices for trinkets was so cheap that I had no stomach for dickering. <br /><br />Otherwise, I am a master. <br /><br />Exbf had a car tear up this last year. He had a neighbor drop him off at a used car lot. I almost died when I heard that. He overpaid by about $2K for a 98 GrandAm. The car dealer had him and he knew it. Read the post about $12K I saved him. I am posting it later this week.

There's the art of the deal, and everyone knows the rules of combat.<br /><br />But my ex read the sticker price and said "We'll take it."<br /><br />God how I hated him at that moment.lotta joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12742978845913126675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-50001685814613653262012-09-17T20:55:32.279-05:002012-09-17T20:55:32.279-05:00Bama Girl,
