Joke 'um Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 At my gunshow table... Buyer: "$450, huh? What's the lowest you'll go?" Me: "I don't bid against myself. If you have a different price in mind, let's talk." They usually just walk away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The viewer didn't like my asking price. Fine, give me a number and I'll consider it. Never heard a word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me: "I don't bid against myself. If you have a different price in mind, let's talk." They usually just walk away... I saw a guy at a gun show ask the seller if he could go lower on a rifle he wanted. Buyer: “What do you want for this Remington ?” The price was $600 and it was on the tag attached to the trigger guard. I had seen it as I walked by. Seller: “I want 600 for that gun” Buyer: “Can you go any lower?” Seller - in a deeper voice and with a straight face - “I want 600 for that gun.” I laughed out loud. The guy trying to buy the gun shot me a dirty look and the seller smiled at me. That was funny. I walked away. Not sure if the guy ended up buying the gun or not.

Ramblin Gambler Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I like to open with "What's your best price?" There's all kinds of negotiators and that question usually lets you know what kind you're dealing with. The 2 guns I bought last weekend, they 'bid against themselves' right at the start. I always thought it was funny, but it's just a dance you do. If they hold firm, I have to lowball them with the initial offer. If they come down right away, my first offer can be what I'm actually willing to pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
