Aint it, a shame most people give up, can't be bothered, don't understand they're in negotiation, aint passionate enough about their bid and can barter etc. Britain was born on a bed of bartering, it's the foundation of a country

"how much do you want for York mate?"
"your head on a plate"
"ah hmmm ok"
"will me arm do?"
"go on then"

It is a shame though, you get an enquiry or on offer and it starts getting like sedo on here, when offered the possiblity of a conversation and real bartering, like sedo can never and will never provide, people don't take the opportunity. You put prices you hope people will go for but they don't look any deeper just sniff and walk away, all a big shame really.

Is it dead? or are people just too greedy and can't be bothered?

Don't know. What's the cost of living in Bucharesti?

It's ok, better valued than the worth of sarcasm.

Yes, alright do you think we could all leave the personal remarks alone and stick to the topic, in general negotiation doesn't happen enough on here. I wish I ****** hadnt bothered.

 

[retired_member6]

That wasn't personal, it was an observation.

Alright

fair enough, you're getting to me, that's your aim. job done.I'm talking about general, if you wish to single me out go for it, I'm at a low point, enjoy your ******* self.

 

[olebean]

Eh?

Lee

The art of negotiation comes from position of strength.. Loads of peeps haggle on here.. Some take it or leave it..

The art of negotiation is far from dead. It's all part and parcel of the game. I negotiate on almost everything I buy for my business, not only does it make good business sense but it makes it fun to do.

But Olebean is right, you post that you are desperate for the rent and that immediately weakens your bargaining position. Not an attack on you Lee, just an observation and one that might help you in the future.

I agree, I look at it that businesses want my money and if the want it they have to reduce prices or i go elsewhere...

I get discount in high street shoping including next
