Haggling Question
Genuine question for anyone with an opinion...
I lack the skills to haggle. I grew up with "if you have to ask, it's too expensive" and my autism demands a level of honesty that most people do not expect.
I placed an ad for something with an asking price of $250. Someone replied and asked "what is your bottom dollar on these?" I said $150. Honestly, I know they're worth at least $150, but $250 was a bit high of an asking price. She said that was a fair price. I asked her when she could come and pick them up.
The next day she replied with "what was the price?" so I replied again, $150 for the set. This was a little irritating because it's literally in the text chain... you just need to scroll up and you'd see our entire conversation - even if you're emailing a bunch of people at once, the reply literally has the entire conversation in it...
She replied by offering me $125.
Why did she ask me what my bottom dollar was if she was just going to try to lowball me anyway?! Am I rational in being deeply upset with this? Am I just being too honest? She asked for the lowest I'd be willing to accept, said that was a fair price, and then offered less than that. What was the point of asking me for my lowest amount?! I HATE haggling. I'm too honest for this.
