And sadly, it is becoming a dying art.
Time and time again friends will say they don’t feel comfortable negotiating a price. They just pay whatever is being asked.
A couple of weeks ago, I purchased a new car and managed to get $8,000 knocked off the sticker price. To me, that’s enough money to warrant an hour at the negotiating table even if you don’t particularly like it.
But I love it.
I was brought up in a home where negotiating prices was not just an act of frugality but an art form, a point of pride.
