oldest rule of selling and buying:
– if you are selling something, then first pretend to be interested in buying it.
Example – I have a flat in a building I wanna sell. So first call a broker and say you want to BUY a flat in that this particular building. He will give you a price. Negotiate hard. There will be a price that he will not come down below. That is the base price.
– Next call another guy and say that you want to sell the flat. Now you know what is the base price.
Reverse the rule when you want to buy. So call and pretend to sell. Get hammered on price. Then use that price to buy.
