Re: help me become a better arguer/negotiater
NLSoldier,
What you are saying is 100% congruent with what I have learned in class about psychology about baseline rates. However, the rare times I have tried that, people just look at me like I am crazy and don't want to even talk to me. Maybe because I am young? (21)
Another example is car shopping. I tried to get a bit of a deal, and threw out a number slightly less than what they were offering (was for a used car, in the range of 7-8k canadian). The guy said the prices were none negotiable, then started showing me cars for 10k.
