Is there a secret to getting a good deal?

I'm new here but I'm pretty sure the OT doesn't negotiate with terrorists and neither does America.

You deserve to ingest battery acid. I'll negotiate down to antifreeze but that's it.

I believe this may help :

I've learned that this is especially true in home financing. You have to call the lender out on every number..too many borrowers just sign sign sign

Kenny Rogers gave the best advice.

You couldn't even negotiate an upvote.

Some kiss arse for it. Some people are willing to be an arse for it. The rare ones can do both but it requires skill, daring and a cunning rarely found in a mere mortal man.

My Mom was always the negotiator of the family. She did good. My Dad was always the a-hole of the family and he did not so good. I evidently got her negotiating skills and his assholishness.

Just remember:

1.) Never pay retail. It's not anymore complicated than that.

2.) Always pitch the deal. What I mean by that is never be embarrassed. Whether it's to be the a-hole, to kiss arse, or to drive a seemingly ridiculously wild bargain. Stick to your guns and do not waver. Always pitch the deal. No matter the case.

3.) Life is a numbers game. So the more No's you hear, the closer to the yes you are. So is any deal making scenario. If you believe #1, are steadfast about #2, then you will eventually find what you are looking for. Some cars might get sold way under dealer invoice to help a lot break a sales goal and get the lot paid as opposed to just one guy. Some Best Buy manager may let you buy a new TV for the Out Of Box price as a part of a sales goal. Some OT 10 may bang your sorry, non negotiating arse because she's drunk and just broke it off with an ex who cheated on her.

You never know when the time will come, so be prepared to pitch the deal. For cars. For grills. For OT Skanks and OT Balleresque smokeshows.

The New Deal was sold to us as an improvement over the old deal.

I'm not convinced eighty years on...
