    I know it pisses me off when a customer haggles That's just me though.

    The other day, I have something for sale for $1800..restaurant equipment. I set up a time for this person to come and check it out..he offers $500. I don't want to play that game, so I said we are done here and I walked him to the door.

    Oh, and a couple weeks ago I had this meat slicer for sale for $500. I talk to this guy opening a deli about 30 minutes away. He wants the slicer, but he's really busy with opening the place. He asked if I could bring it to him, and I said I don't normally do that because I've always had problems bringing things to people without them paying first. He said don't worry about it--and this was the last time I will do this. I get there, and he says "So, you wanted $200 for this, right? And then starts talking about he needs an automatic one for cheaper insurance premiums..he knows exactly what I was bringing and how much it cost. I pick it up and walk out the door. He thought since he got me all the way there that he could talk me down on it. He followed me back to my car and he got all the way up to $475 when I slammed my door shut and drove off. I was so angry I wouldn't have sold it to him for $600.
