okay real question and read it through. i have my eyes on a car that the person has listed for $4000. i reached out to some people to say i wanted to offer $2500 because that car has been for sale for over 3 months. all i got back was 'hey you are offering 40% of listing price and that is just the worst thing ever and xyz'. meanwhile their discount model is 10%, so if they list a car at $50k then they could cut off $5k off the top. why do i feel like i'm crazy that it's in everyones best interest to offer $2500 on a $4000 listing when that same entity is cool with giving $5000 off on other cars? why is percentages the final boss?
Why do you not care about spending $800,000 on a house instead of $799,950 but you do care about spending $100 on a lunch instead of $50?
>>28801286The simple answer is margin.The person selling the car had to buy it, maintain it, pay insurance on it, etc.They could still make a some money cutting $5k off of that $50k car, but will lose money by cutting $2.5k off that $4k car.Hopefully this helps.
>>28801286So you think a $500k offer on a house listed for $800k is acceptable then?
>>28801286>i reached out to some people to say i wanted to offer $2500skill issue. You make cash deals in-person, not over text, you retarded faggot. Also, not your car, not your sale posting. You can cry all you want for free though
