    He could have easily got 3500 from Rick. He misinterpreted Rick's question as a counter offer. Rick was taking the offer at 3100 no problem.

      Gee Willickers feel sorry for the guy. Should have said between 5000 to 4000 off the bat. Then lower the value in negotiating. The moment you drop to half your original price they’ll rip you apart.

      Rick will take the first $4000 offer that comes through the door. So he makes $1000 minus 40% taxes, which is $600. To get the maximum $6000, he has to auction them and pay the $25% fee and then taxes.

I mean... if you call “a friend”... it doesn’t make it like a professional thing. It might get sellers a little upset.

      While I get what you mean, the psychological effect of the word 'friend' might actually be better in some cases. It's obvious when the 'friend' gets there that they are an expert, just by the details they are talking about. But by saying 'friend', he is giving the impression that he actually knows this person, trusts them to give accurate information, and most likely has a positive history with them. Instead of just 'hey I heard about this expert lets see if he knows anything'. People who deal with customers constantly for years learn how wording can really make a difference.

      MargoMB19 except that: 1) if you’re calling a friend, the customer/seller might think (as they often do) that you’re calling someone who will take your side and help you lower the price; 2) an expert is an expert, and if you’re calling him/her, it’s understood that you know him/her and how he/she works and trust that person and that he/she knows what he/she’s doing. I know perfectly well that wording is important. I’ve been working with customers for over 15 years.
