that's the type of guy that is looking to buy.

When someone asks me what my lowest or “best” price is I respond with what’s your highest or “best” offer.

When asked "would you take X" I always respond with "is that an offer or just a question?". If just a question the answer is NO.

I don't like it when people do that. I don't want to negotiate against myself, lol.

If someone makes an offer, I will certainly consider it, but it just seems strange when someone wants me to make an offer to myself on their behalf.

My go to response is always " That's a solid down payment, you can pay the balance on pick up." I usually get a laugh which helps move things along.

I may say "there is some room" or " i am firm on that price" depending on what it is i am selling.
I do not like a "previewing" offer . But IF you can get me to commit to it, the haggling is done. show up with the money and it is yours. I will demonstrate that it is everything i said it was but DO NOT start to renegotiate. If you made a blind offer, and i accepted it, further haggling is out of the question.

Hey, I have the price on the windshield or in the add. That's my lowest price---until YOU make an offer that I can either accept or reject. If you ask me what my lowest price is I will just reference the price I put on the glass. And you can walk.

I want $2500.00 for it. You don't want to pay the asking price? I'll flex. What will you give?
