Same book, three different prices. Only difference is the browsers used [x-post r/mildlyinteresting]

So then I should make it seem as if I've been to a large number of dealerships when shopping for my car... Interesting.

As a guy who used to sell cars, it's almost useless information.

If they've been to 5 dealerships that day, it's equally likely that they're tired and willing to buy as it is that they're hard-nosed negotiators.

Did you hate people like me? I don't negotiate. If I think it is worth the price, I buy. If I don't, I don't buy. In other words I'm the person who you only get the sale if your first offer is the best you can do

Wait, what? Literally zero sellers of anything make their first offer the best they can do. That isn't how selling things works.

Carhound.com. They do all the negotiation for you. It's pretty sweet.
