My Dad is a world class haggler Sue.......and he was appalled that I wouldn't give in !!! I, on the other hand, do not haggle so feel justified in standing my ground !!! But I do agree.......no harm in giving it a go......as long as you can recognise when the person you're trying to beat down isn't playing LOLOL

I owe you a few birthday cards by the sounds of it Hayley !!! LOL xx

He was clearly just trying to call my bluff Ann......but after the few months I've had I can't be doing with it .....aw well....he's the loser ultimately because someone with mechanial know how will make a pretty penny out of it !!

I STILL would've done that at 35 Hayley........

*whispers* how come you've gained 6 years on your age in a year?* LOLOLOL

I think you were right, you had said before no haggling so why did he haggle.

But I'm unrepentant !!!

OH's cars engine went BANG last Thurs (yep needed that like a hole in the head didn't we !!)

Anywaaaaaay it's uneconomical to repair...being as it's not the main family car...... iso we put it on ebay as a spare or repair job......we know what the going rate for them is and priced it reasonably compared to other cars on there.

Bloke phoned this afternoon and said he was travelling 100 miles to see the car........we stressed......NO HAGGLING.....the price we put was the price we were prepared to accept and not a penny less.

Anyway......he was supposed to turn up tonight at 8.......at half seven he phoned...will we take £25 less.

Er.......no.

He said.........well money is tight......and it IS ony £25...er...tell us about it....our damn car just blew up and we have to buy a working one out of what we get for the wreck.....every penny counts here too and if it's ONLY £25 YOU pay it !!!

In the end after trying his luck for about half hour he finally got the message and said *Well i'm not buying it then* we said.......fine don't then lol.

Got 3 other people fighting over it now but when I told my Dad about it he said I was being a tight a**e.LOLOLOL

Like I care. It's dog eat dog out there !!! There was a time when I would've done it so as not to offend. Those days are long gone !!! I think this turning 40 malarky is beginning to kick in LOL xx
