He quickly realized I was going to tell him to get the eff off the property, gave me $2200. Another was a co-worker. Already knew he wasn't any good at haggling, so I gave him a choice. Asked him if he wanted my bottom line, or if he wanted to haggle instead. He wanted the bottom line, so I told him. Then he asked what the haggling price was. Sigh.
