I can see it on both sides.

1. I would never charge market values for my friends or business associates with few exceptions.

2. I would never haggle with a friend. I wouldn't charge them regular price and I expect the same consideration and respect. If my buddy wants to sell me an animal at market value than I won't be doing business with them, not because I am cheap - but because good business relationships are based on mutually beneficial interactions. If I give my buddy a BP at half market value and he tries to charge me full price, than where is the respect..

It's that simple to me. I am lucky.. I am on great terms with two of the most well respected and admired breeders/ suppliers in my area. They have always treated me with patience, respect, and we come to agreements based on those factors. It's very difficult to survive in this business if you make enemies with all of your competition.
