Don't be that guy, it is not to your advantage in the long run.


I was dickering at pawn shops.
I was dickering at gun shows.
I was dickering at car buys. "If you will come down on your commission, I will buy it right now."
I was dickering at real estate. "I got the seller down as far as he will go. If both you salesmen come down on your commissions, this deal will go through right now."

Then I got so old, I don't dicker any more.
