One of the things that I learned from my mother was that it was okay to haggle over the price.  I have never seen a better negotiator, and my mother haggled over a lot of things - everything from school fees to a box of cereal in the supermarket.  Had she been a businesswoman, I am sure that she would have done very well.

Whether it was genetics, or her invaluable teachings, I became a shrewd price negotiator as well.  Though I had not achieved the level of success that my mother had, I still put it upon myself to get the best price wherever I went.

In fact, this week, I had some great successes when it comes to getting a better price.  You see, I was out looking for used trucks in Fort Worth and happened across a dealership that supposedly would not turn down any reasonable offer.  To me that meant a challenge, so I took it.

I started to look around the lot, and when the salesman greeted me, I wasted no time in trying to get a better price than what I had seen on the new trucks in Weatherford just last week.  After one short hour, I found myself with keys in hand for the truck that I had dreamed of owning at a price that I would have never dreamed possible.
