[QUOTE="rust0r, post: 10103537, member: 11338"] I definitely understand where you are coming from, he is simply trying to earn his cut and if he can make me think it's worth $11,995 then why not. I guess my point is just that it's a pretty ignorant/dangerous game to play given how many people look for info on the internet, etc. It's not exactly like he's in a profession where people trust their unrivaled opinion lol. To me, though it's legal, it is definitely unethical from a business standpoint. Offer it at the $10,995 and don't budge, tell me some story how some people offer it at $11,995 but you're cutting right to the bottom line, etc. I can't stand these shady practices, regardless if they are the industry norm. BTW: I just KNEW making that analogy someone was going to get into the technicalities of it rather than take it at face value lol Thanks for the tip regarding it's length of stay on the lot :beer: I'm definitely leaning towards the whole route of bringing up the price I saw, length it's been on the lot and giving him bottom line price, not looking to spend 3 hours there getting pissed off and having him run to his manager for an additional $50 at a time. That's hilarious, gotta love when you can stick it to people like that. Once my dad was at Futureshop (Bestbuy's Canadian company, we also have best buy), he was getting frustrated with an associate that wasn't helping him with a product and told them "Nevermind, you just lost my business, I'll go to Best Buy and purchase it", the associate replied "It's alright, we're owned by them". Obviously the employee doesn't realize that his hours and employment depend on the products purchased at his store, and not Best Buy. However, it was still hilarious to hear how stupid my dad felt.
