I'd call them a scumbag if they said on the phone, "yeah, I'll pay $100," then show up with $80 saying they were short. They hope you take the deal to just be done with them. Yes, it's a sometimes effective strategy, but still scummy in my opinion to say one thing and then make another lower offer at the last minute.
- skunkworks 15y agoBingo -- this is exactly what they do. I consider this a serious angleshoot because we agreed upon a price and this is to me a verbal contract. To have someone fudge the terms of the contract by taking advantage of a 11th hour switch is unethical IMO. I would much rather send them on their way out of spite, and I'll have a grin knowing that they wasted $4.00 of gas to walk away empty handed.
