What if you found a TV at Best Buy for 299.00 dollars...drive to Tweeter and found the same TV for 329.00...would you 1) Drive back to Best Buy to buy that TV for 299.00 or 2) Tell Tweeter you saw the TV for 299.00 at Best Buy and you want to pay that price?
When you sell your car or your home do you sell to the highest bidder or the lowest?
When you sell your car and it needs a 60K tune-up...Do you 1) Tell the buyer you have already completed the service even though you haven't or 2) Tell the truth?

2...Sell to the buyer who can get the loan!
3...only if they ask...they're gonna try to get you to lower the price anyway.

It doesn't have to be this complicated. A buyer will pay whatever the car is worth to that buyer or the lowest available price, whichever is lower. A seller will sell for whatever the car is worth to the seller, or the highest offered price, whichever is higher. If there are any overlaps in this range, then a sale takes place.
Looking at the TV example, I will give Tweeter the chance to sell the TV to me for $299, but I refuse to pay an extra $30 to sustain their less efficient supply chain.
It is up to the buyer to know what he is buying and up to the seller to be honest. Beyond these basic facts, the seller doesn't have to provide any info other than those required to be disclosed by law, IMO.

I told him "That's a nice trailer" and help him load. The next time you feel like being a dick to a salesman, don't be surprised if it comes back to haunt you.:pfawk:

I'd have told the ass on the phone we close at 6 and left, you must be a much nicer person deep down then I am.
Or you think he's going to buy another ATV.
