Then obviously he's powerless and the corporates have won.
Or, yano just like tell them you want it changed or you'll get someone else to take your hundreds of thousands of dollars to build your house.

- aunty_helen 5y agoOnce again, this isn't a pack of oreos you're buying from the supermarket and asking to swap a vanilla in the pack. Negotiating details is perfectly reasonable at this price point. Swap out the oven or I don't buy the house. This is a case of accepting no and then paying for the privilege.

That's actually the perfect analogy. >Negotiating details is perfectly reasonable at this price point. There is no negotiation possible. It's take it or leave it. Toll Brothers don't care if you walk away; they'll turn around and sell it to someone else. >Swap out the oven or I don't buy the house. Right, exactly. Except if you insist on this then the result is you don't buy the house 100% of the time. There's no negotiation.
