Default Negotiating Price on Used Sailboat
wrote:
I am trying to negotiate a price for a used sailboat. Is it
appropriate to offer 10% below what they are asking? First time for
this - don't want to offend the seller, but also want to make the best
deal for myself. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks...Cate

Offer what it's worth to you..even if it's more than 10% of the asking
price...if they want to sell it, they will counter with an offer and
then go from there...
