That doesn’t bother me. Negotiating is part of life. What bothers me is when they show up with less cash than they agreed to pay.

I’ve been chewed out for not taking less money at the point of sale. Three separate times I’ve turned people away for that bullshite.

My opening offer is typically half of the listed price. You’re selling your shite on Facebook so obviously you need the cash. Deal with the lowballs or get a better job, your choice.

If something is overpriced and I am interested in it at a fair price I tell the seller that. It's a 50/50 proposition, and honestly when buying used stuff that is pretty good odds.

If you don't like my offer, move on.

Buttplug is listed at 700

Bartering: hey dude, can you go down to 650, your price seems steep

Low Balling: Yo mane, I’ll give you 500 today

The key is to list it way above value so they lowball you down to it’s true value.

And once in awhile you’ll catch an idiot who pays what you ask

I read an article once on buying a car that was written by a former car salesman. He said many people just dont understand that in order to get the lowest price you have to make offer below the lowest possible price which is often ridiculous in many people's eyes. Sounds like you are one of those people...

No, idiot. You meant bargaining.

Bartering is more like swapping or trading goods.

Here is where I should make some filthy, insulting comment about bartering half a pack of Kool menthol to your bitch for a parking lot hummer... But I'll pass cause you are too stupid to have a bitch.
