At the end of the day, these are toys, not food or rent. No one has to have used rc cars.
If I have something up for $100 and someone offers $95.... they are just trying to feel good about themselves thinking that they "negotiated" a better deal. It's a waste of time and I personally will tell ya "no thanks". They are probably the type that will file a PP dispute on you for something stupid so I'd rather they walk anyway and not deal with it.
Most in this hobby have a shopping problem and just buy stuff to buy stuff. I've found that the biggest babies when it comes to negotiating live in the RC community. It's boarder-line petty actually.... and this conversation is proof! Look at the crying over my making a statement about $5.00 less than asking prices
.
Anyone here that is truly honest with themselves and has done more than 3 deals in the RC community, knows all of this to be true. There's a difference from being a good negotiator and being a pain in the a$$. Most in the RC market are the latter... let's get real.
