[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 9140883, member: 301"]sorry , I can't be of help.:( a little more lead time to suss things out.....but..:sorry: that said........... it scummy but... get him to make offers first. unless you have some reasonable thoughts on what you want for each item....let him open up the discussion. He knows what he'll pay......and likely he'll start low.....but then you have a starting point !! You want him to buy....and he's ready......no dispute there.... but if you are clueless, he'll at least get the ball rolling. If he askes you what you want for it..... that's reasonable, but he's baiting you. You come in way over what he feels the item is worth...and he'll balk. You come in way under what he's willing to pay...... he'll pounce. I know not how good your bargaining skills are.... but there's a game to be played here......... he knows it......and now hopefully so do you ! If you get comfortable with him..........then there's bundling ! He'll want a better price if he can put several items together as a bundle , in which case you'll need to be flexible......but don't drop your pants !!;) Good luck !![/QUOTE]
