    Nothing is ever "firm". Doesn't matter if you are negotiating to buy a pinball machine or having inter country discussions. There is always room for negotiation in every circumstance.

    Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:

    Not true. If my ad says price is firm that's the price you'll pay. Firm to me means no negotiating. And if you try to just negotiate about something other than price instead I'll simply send you on your way empty handed.
    It means different things to different people. It works against neither side.

    I might not try to negotiate the price with you - maybe I might ask if you can deliver the machine or perhaps you have a spare plastics set that I could ask you to include in the deal or swap the playfield glass with the one on the machine next to the one I want.

    Negotiation is not only about price.
