Life Stupid me... - Page 2

**Fire Me Boy!** · 02-15-2009, 04:36 AM

OK, so feeling pretty ****ing dumb right now.

The wife and I were out looking at a new couch/loveseat yesterday, as well as a headboard for the bed. We took a while longer than we intended and ended up deciding to buy something as they were closing. In my rush to get out of there, I completely forgot to haggle.

So now, I'm kinda regretting the purchase. I actually have until Tuesday to cancel the order... should I go back and tell them that another store offered me the same stuff at a lower price (or offered to throw in the warranty for free) and I'd like to cancel, or just use it as a learning experience?

boy life is perfect in your little world isn't it.

Must be hard being perfect all the time.

In any case, not too worried. Wife and I neither one are in love with what we bought. I think I'm just going to go in and say we found a better deal. Match it or cancel.

I'm not really into games.

I would say that if you're not in love with it, cancel it regardless.

Nah, I don't let myself get in love with things like couches and TVs.

We ended up getting them to give some extras, and hvae the couch/loveseat in the house already.

It might be because of his D-bag act over in Sully's teaching thread.

Now you do and he doesn't, he's trying to save a sale.

He's on the defensive.

"But now I that I've looked at our finances it's just too much. I love the (whatever) but I can't afford it right now. Is (guy/gal that sold it to me) here?"

Flattery. Sales is all about confidence and determination. Play into both.

THEN throw in "angry wife." If your sunday add shows that thing cheaper have the wife play bad cop. The wife always plays a better bad cop.

"I'd been holding back because my husband wanted this but the sunday add says bla bla bla..."

He'll fold. The only thing worse than hearing his wife bitch is having to hear someone else's wife bitch...

Yes , and then just happen to let him see your concealed handgun permit and mention that youforgot to take your medication today!
