Skip, I don't like negociating weither. I'm more of an auction person, I can bid what I want, and own it or walk away from it. The personal haggling just doesn't fit me.
I bought a field cultivator once, needed one in spring, dealers were asking $1200, in the paper was one for $750. I looked it over, said sure.
The fellas were just chestfalled, they were kinda offended I didn't make an offer. They told me to make the check for $600, but you could tell they missed some of the fun of the day.
So as a buyer, what do you do?
Sounds like you are not real motivated seller, looking to make money or keep the item.
Sounds like the buyer is not a real motivated buyer, looking to pick up a deal or keep his money.
No harm on either of you, just say my price is firm, and everyone is happy and fine, no need for either to be offended or upset. You both tried, and that's that?
It's typical for a seller to knock off 10% of the asking price, it's kinda hard to just walk up and pay straight cash for an item. Has to be a little haggling.
If you are offended by a low-ball offer, I don't understand why you want to raise the price and turn yourself into an offensive high-ball seller?
Just go about your business, and if you don't get what you asked for, say no thanks and everyone has what they want.

As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
