Some people feel obligated to haggle no matter what the circumstances are.
Many years ago I had a 8N ford with a Wagner Loader setting on my place that was in excellent condition but I didn’t use it very much because I had several bigger tractors and a Farmall Cub That I mowed with.
Short story long: one Sunday afternoon 2 guys in a pickup pulled in my driveway and told me they worked with a guy I knew and he had told them that I might possibly sell the 8N as I didn’t use it much anymore. I told them I would take $700 CASH for it.
One guy then told me there was a ”really nice one” in the paper for $350. I told him well I guess if you can buy a better tractor for less money you would be smart to buy it.
He then tried to haggle price, I told him my price is firm I don’t really care if I sell it or not, if I really needed to sell it, you would see an ad in the paper next to the “really nice one” that is for sale, so they left and I thought that was the end of the story.
The next afternoon I got home from work and was setting at the table having a cup of coffee when those 2 guys pulled in the driveway pulling a trailer, I laughed and told the wife I guess the price is right after all.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
