Don't you believe if you asked enough of the right questions that you would be able to easily determine if you were being lied to?

I hope for your sake you do not belive that

Well actually I do. If I've done my homework and understand what I'm purchasing I'm confident I could determine if I'm being bamboozled by asking the pertinent questions.

Also, if a customer seriously asked me if I have ever "lied to a customer"... in effect questioning my integrity... I wouldn't want their business and walk out of their office.

If you are a salesperson that sold a product for less than your original asking price then you lied to your customer about what it would take to buy your product or service originally. If you ever included something extra to close the deal you originally lied to your customer on what the price included. If you gave more for a trade-in than what you originally offered then you lied to the customer originally.
Again the majority of salespersons are honest but my point is how do you know if yours is or is not. And I stand by my claim that you can not determine the honesty of a truly dishonest person by questioning them if that was true there would never be any employee theft or frauds such as what Bernard Lawrence "Bernie" Madoff committed.

Have you ever sold your car to a private buyer? Have you ever sold your home. Have you ever listed and sold anything on Craig's List.

When you sold any of these items did you ever accept less than what you originally listed?

If so... are you a liar?

BRAVO you finaly got it!!!!!!!!

So I guess when you buy anything, your offer is your only offer. Otherwise you would be a liar as well. Pretty sad that you think so poorly of our capitalistic economic system. Maybe you should move to some place with strict price controls, that way no body will lie to you. North Korea and Cuba come to mind. I am sure all the citizens of those fine, upstanding countries appreciate that only the stone cold truth is told there.
