Great post....
Also, I laughed my butt off about your comment (below)...This is so true. I purchased a truck not long ago and the salesman quoted me a price and then I countered with a lower price. He didn't hesitate and said OK to my counter offer. I was perplexed and thought 'Crap...why didn't I go lower'. I felt like I got stiffed.
