You can always fight the commonly accepted practice and issue a FIRM price, but this is rarely a successful tactic.

I am not selling the 240D, unless they meet my FLAT price !!!

This is my DAILY DRIVER, I have zero interest - motivation for negotiation or compromise..

At the moment I am BUSY, and unwilling to waste precious time negotiating or building a replacement car.

Every time I hear "commonly accepted practice", I think of Lemmings.
