[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this actually true? Are you really a person who's willing to pay more money to anyone who tries to extort you and take advantage of you, from home sellers to hypothetical grocery clerks? Wow. Either you're really rich, really spineless, or … I think…. really trying to convince the OP to pay more to an unprincipled seller who's trying to change the rules in the middle of the game. [/quote]
10:31 here.  I don't consider it extortion; it's simply negotiation.  If the seller (be it a home seller or a store clerk) wants to jack up the price on me, I'll calculate what end result benefits me most and make my decision accordingly.  By the same token, if I see an opportunity to demand a concession from the seller, I'll take it.  For example, if I'm buying a gallon of milk and notice that it's only 1-2 days from it's "sell by" date, maybe I'll tell the clerk I want a $1 discount!  In neither situation will I allow emotion or spite to control my strategy.  I am neither spineless, nor rich.  I'm frugal and logical.

Your repeated suggestion that all of us who disagree with you must be pawns of the seller here is laughable.  It seems you realize your viewpoint is in the minority, and so you want to discredit the many people who disagree with you.  That attitude exhibits the excess emotion you're allowing to control your thinking.[/quote]
