Depends on which country I was in. In some countries everything is negotiable. In the US most things are negotiable, but sellers try to convince us that they are not. If you know someone in the restaurant business you will definitely see them negotiating with other restauranteurs. Same if you know somebody in the clothng business. Many times I have told a salesperson "I see you have a sale, but it is not exactly what I need" and have been told "no problem." ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
