Sellers need to cope with day to day realities of selling. What some may see as dirty tricks by buyers, are just daily occurrences that sellers just need to prepare for and deal with.

Most people have more important things to do than engage in this kind of scheming. Of probably more concern is the possibility, even the likelihood, that the people you or I are selling to just don't care about us or our product or service at all.

As an experienced purchaser I saw the negotiation with seller / suppliers as an exchange of information and values.

You trade value for value. I didn't try to play any "dirty tricks", but I asked frank, direct and hard questions to the seller. Please give me "just the facts, m'am!"

It is a two-way street. If you as a purchaser are playing around with dirty tricks in order get the upper hand not according to the book, you will eat that up later on... The same goes for the seller. You will find out sooner or later, if you have got tricked somehow.

I am glad that you have pointed out these misconceptions about sales transactions.
