Hadn't thought of that. No strategist, me. Anyway, the answer:

In approx 2 mins he dropped his price by ten grand.

Honest.

Opened at ?13700, became irritated when I interrupted him as he hadn't finished, (apparently); said with the BOGOF it'd be about ?8K; said he still hadn't finished when I began to speak, dropped to 6.5 while watching me for clues, then said he could do it for ?4500 (thats when I laughed at him) and then, seeing me standing over him and gesturing towards the door, offered ?3700.

At that point I was almost tempted, so I asked him to write to me stating the terms.

he says, No, Shan't Do That, This Is Take It Or Leave It, Need A Decision Right Now (staring at me for dramatic effect).

Easiest answer in the world, take it or leave it. Off he trotted, looking glum.

After this I looked them up on tinterweb. Dear me: not popular, Safestyle.
