I'm selling stuff at the moment (such as cots for babies - car seats - all stuff the children are too big for now) and I'm advertising everything at fixed come and take it away prices; you know cot = 15 euros etc etc

I still get whinging and moaning - I still get "I'll take the cot and the bottle warmer for 10 euros" etc.
We had a "yard sale." You place items for sale outside with price tags on them for strangers to pick through. Haggling is inevitable. One woman picked up an item marked twenty five cents and asked my wife if she would take fifteen cents instead. My wife looked at the item and replied "Actually, that was marked incorrectly. It should only be ten cents." The woman said "Oh? In that case, would you take five?" My wife politely declined.

There is a rule in negotiating which says "The first person to name a price loses."
You believe this is true? What would it take to change your mind?
