Really, sounds like you do not like money, so will you take a bushel of corn and 2 hogs for that truck? lol Jk
If you ask X amount and I say "you want that in cash"? you up the price? How does that work?
Life is like eating a shiet sandwich, the more bread you have, the less shiet you eat.

I actually appreciate the firm price. I don't go to Walmart and negotiate the price of socks, they are what they are. If the price is firm, you can look at the truck, know what you are getting if you choose to buy it and decide if it's worth the price. If not, move along.

Ya make money on the buy. I was never a savvy negotiator growing up. Don't ever let someone know you are interested in something, they can smell it, and they won't budge. Try to act detached, non committal. Don't have to talk smack about the damn thing, but can run your fingers over the dents, making sure he sees that etc. Fair price for fair goods, everybody's happy.
By the same token, when somebody has to sell something right away, they sort of have an odor about them. It's sad but a savvy buyer can smell that too, and they will make a lowball offer, and maybe even get it.
I just figure don't fall in love with something that can't love ya back. There are always great deals to be had, keep looking.
