dAriNg nEgotiAtion!
Filed Under Daily
I called the locksmith to fix my door handle. He told me that this type of service would cost 120 Euros. I immediately replied that I would not pay more than 60 Euros. He accepted right away reluctantly, he did not want to negotiate with me. He had the feeling that I was too serious and that I’d drop the deal without hesitation. He would waste his trip for nothing in that case.
My “ex-colleague” told me that her son, who got himself locked out last Sunday, was asked to pay 1200 Euros to unlock the door. I was shocked. She got the deal down to 700 Euros but it was still crazy for me. I would sleep in a hostel (even an expensive one) and wait for a normal week day and negotiate something much cheaper.
