"Americans are not the best negotiators"
There are 300m Americans. They vary widely in their approach to negotiation. Some of the best books about negotiation are by Americans.

- cko 4y agoI think what they're trying to say is "people who have high purchasing power get a bit excited by the relatively low prices and don't bother to negotiate." Though I think it's less of negotiation skill and more of unfamiliarity with the market. This gets fixed quickly one year in, in my experience. When I first moved from the US to Romania, I was offered a studio apartment for 300 euro a month. I thought it was super cheap and signed immediately. Little did I know I overpaid by a lot. This hurts the locals, who start getting priced out of the market.
