One thing I don't do whenever negotiating is lowball the person unless that is the max that I will go. I have had others do it and they seem confused when I jack the price up in response to their offer.

Dish really irked me off today, DVR stopped working, lady offers a FREE upgrade and FREE installation for new DVR system.... with a $30/Mo fee she wouldnt tell me about till I asked. Then I said no way screw that, its gotta be close to what im paying now. So she callls her "promotions manager" gets the price to 103 a month. So Im like wtf Im paying 96 a month now why should I pay more since YOUR DVR broke. She basically strong armed me said thats the best I can do, so I said Ill call you back after I call direct tv and she let me go.
Reminds me of when we were selling our first house a couple years ago.
Day 1 we get an offer that was 15-20% below list. Mark Charter advised me against countering with a number above asking, but I really wanted to.
By the next day we had 2 other offers & ended up selling just over asking price.
