After reading some books on finance, I began to notice some details in the negotiations. And a very interesting happened during that week when I was doing a budget to buy furniture for my new apartment.

The case was as follows:

Came in and did the design of furniture he wanted to buy a shop well known. I started getting very interested because the project turned out quite the way I wanted and my fiancee. Finally, the project was done, came the price. 20 000 units of currency. By knowing the price I put a lesson I learned into practice:

1. Even without the money, always ask the cash price.

This gives strength to the buyer and seller excites the

And is not it worked. The seller did the math and told me. 14 000 view. 30% discount. Even as I said I did not want the other big lesson I learned was:

2. Never buy on impulse.

See the price elsewhere

And the seller said that this was the first quote that I had done and would not buy without having other prices. Then he began to use selling techniques. He said that if the furniture had been and how I wanted our wedding would not be worth wasting time. He also said that if we buy we would not miss the opportunity. Also they tried to convince us that this discount was only valid as it was carnival. Anyway, I kept my position. Would not buy. This is where the surprise came. He asked me how I would get the furniture. Still insisted that it would not take and he proposed to me: "I 12 000." I could not believe he was giving me 40% off the original price! I kept my position. I needed to look in more places. Thus came the last proposal. I would pay 250 units per month for 6 months and the remainder of 12 000 at the end. But I had to keep my position as yet to quote elsewhere.

This was just a real case that can happen to you when using simple lessons, find prices and try to get the best deal. In this example note that the interest of the seller combined with my interest balanced the negotiating for me to get to the end of trading the price we got really fair to both parties. If only you show interest in buying, the seller will probably leave a very high price and it will be huge advantage.
