But I'm not here for the bare minimum, or this topic wouldn't of came up. I'm here to see who's more right than the other.
Here's Blume's argument.
I gave him a 17% discount on the B4C armor in the past($700,000 from $850,000 is, according to him, 17%).
He gave me a 23-26% discount on the B4C helmet just now($190,000 from $250,000 is, according to him, 23-26%).
By his logic, he gave me a bigger discount because the percentage is larger.
Here's my argument.
These items aren't even in the same price range, and anywhere near 5-7% would ALMOST STILL be a bigger discount to his 23-26% discount on the helmet, based on the value of the items. That a 17% discount at $850,000 would be worth more than 23-26% at $250,000.
I met him more than half-way from my initial price of $150,000 and went to $180,000. Reasonable offer. |
