You ask? "When you list something for sale and state a price, do you hold that price or negotiate."
I was a used tractor and implement and truck dealer for yearsssssssss and my answer is
IM ALWAYS WILLING TO NEGOTIATE
If I read an add and it DOES NOT say the price is firm, I suspect the Seller will negotiate but the only way to know IS TO MAKE HIM AN OFFER. The worse he can do is say no and if you dont ask you will never know now will you.
One of my rules were I NEVER PRICE ANOTHER MANS EQUIPMENT If he refuses to set a price but asks me what I will give, I just ask "what will you take" DO NOT PRICE HIS EQUIPMENT thats his job buttttttttttttt once he sets a price you can either take it or make a counter offer and then walk.
ANOTHER THING I WILL NOT DO AND REFUSE TO PLAY THAT GAME is if I set a price, but the buyer does NOT make an offer but instead asks WHATS THE LEAST YOU WILL TAKE and if I ask "Okay so whats the most you will give" but he still refuses an offer again asking the least I will take,
I TELL HIM OKAY I WILL QUOTE THE LEAST I WILL TAKE ONE TIME BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT THENNNNNNN SAYING NO I WONT GIVE THAT BUT NOW I WILL GIVE YOU X$ and then expect me to negotiate from there SORRY CHARLIE I DONT PLAY THAT GAME. If you wanna make an offer fine I will take or leave it buttttttttttt no way am Im gonna give you my bottom dollar after you refuse an offer and only then negotiate. If were gonna negotiate its off my asking price NOT my bottom dollar AND THEN I TELL THEM TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP N LEAVE N KISS MY GRITS......
I was NOT a good seller, I wouldnt put up with crap from every Billy Bob who came by, if he wanted it fine if not fine. I made my profit because I was a good BUYER who purchased allowing a reasonable profit at a fair price.
Soooooo look at the item, make an offer, buy it or be prepared to walk.
PS tell you one way to make a dude price his item who refuses......... JUST SHOOT HIM A LOW BALL OFFER N WATCH HIM START TALKIN LOL LOL all of a sudden he will know exactly what they are bringing and what its worth and what he will take
Nuff said, a grouchy old fuddy duddy who would NEVER make it in the retail business where you have to put up with customers crap,,,,John T
