JohnyT,
You were looking for inputs on negotiating on the article you wrote on "helpful info for first time buyers". Since I joined the Open Road forum over 2 years ago I have concluded that not many members post helpful info on negotiating. Therefore I have tried to offer some helpful recommendations from time to time. One of my latest examples is under the topic of "How to deal with dealers/sales people", my post dated 1/7/2005, 8:53PM.
Negotiations is an art. You cannot get a degree in it from any college or university. Effective negotiators have an inborn inclination to do that and coupled with actual experience gained over many years hone their skills to a very valuable asset for themselfes or for their employer. It is a very valuable skill that many employers pay high salaries for. However, there are some basic principles and tactics that can easily be applied to any RV purchase.
I have pointed some of these out from time to time. They are not complicated or stressful nor are they to be dreadedd by anyone.
I have spent most of my professional career buying and selling many high dollar items and programs and thus have a skill that I could rightfully charge a fee to any RV'r needing help in this regard.
I am not crazy about repeating myself over and over and so I ask you to do a search of my posts on this and related topics. You should get enough basic info that is helpful for elaborating on your article.
