Haggling help

[bironacad]

Congratulations on your new machine.:thumbsup:

Oops, yes congratulations, lol.

Enjoy, still talking snow here, cousin asked if I needed help with the end of the drive just this morning, next will be mud, then bugs then grass cutting. :laughing: My grandfather who was from Aberdeen use to say we only had two seasons in Canada, spring and winter, lol.

Thanks for all the congratulatory messages. I'll post pics of the new mower when the weather improves. Tornado and flash flood watches hoisted now. NWS calling for widespread 2+ inches of rain; up to 5 inches in spots.

well, i always haggle. i always come into any deal with cash, and i wont complete the deal unless i get a better price.

people do it to me when I'm bidding on jobs, and i don't disrespect them for it. if they jumped on my proposal, then i think...wait, what did i screw up on..i must have priced it tooooo low.

i just made a deal on a horse trailer, and i had them throw in free delivery....from 2400 miles away.....but they accepted the offer. like they say, its a byers market, and i didn't really need it that bad.

That happens to me when I bid an HVAC / Plumbing job. It's the ones that say..OK, when can you start. I'm thinking I screwed up on the price somewhere:laughing:

nice mower! i looked at that exact model 2 years ago and the best he could do was around $6,400 so i would say you got one heck of a deal! as far as haggling goes i'm cursed. when i TRY to haggle i think they jackup the price on me! i seem to be able to get a fair deal on tractors, mowers, etc but NEVER on trucks. i try to be firm, tell them what i want and what i'll pay and they always laugh at me and never chase after me or call me later. maybe that's why i keep my trucks for 10+ years at a time

Heck yes, it flies! The thing certainly moves faster than *I'm* willing to go with three blades spinning under my feet!

Don't feel bad, RollingsFarms. I just got lucky this time. I'm usually a seller's best friend, since I operate under the naive assumption that everybody asks a fair price for almost everything -- just like I do whenever I sell something.
