How do you haggle?

[Kaorte]

and just to throw this out there: At my last show i vended, there was a really sweet lady and her husband looking at my pieds and hets. It seems that she, much like myself, had dreamed of making pieds of her own. We talked for quite a while, and she decided she wanted to get at least a het pied female from me to get her foot in the door so to speak. She was so much like i was a few years back, it made me all sentimental and mushy. I made her a deal, not the other way a round. I offered her a male and female het pair, each from a different mom so she could feel safe about breeding them, for $150. Granted, i was asking that price for just the female, so she got the male i was asking $75 for for free, but to me that didn't matter. Maybe i could have gotten more for them, maybe not. But to see the light in her eyes when i told her my offer, and to hear her say she just couldn't that it would not be fair to me, and to see the tears when i told her how now that my dream of making pieds had come true, i was only too happy to make someone else's dream a little bit closer to reality. Well, that is why i do what i do. She came back to my table at least 6 times before the day was out, grinning from ear to ear and trying not to cry. Everyone she knew at that show had admired the babies and congratulated her on the first step towards making her pieds. That my friends, is what this is all about.
