another tricky negotiation situation...

I was exactly caught in the tricky trap, I kept the negotiation from win-win consequence by two actions.

I said "I can pay $125,000 for five, I need five, and hopefully ten."
this caused a conflict with the other buyer, who had only $100,000.
By hearing my words, the other buyer would never had thought of buying 10 together, which probably is the win-win consequence.

Another thing.
I only asked the other buyer "Do you need the whole egg? I only need the inside."
I didn't say I only need the YOLK, not explaining in detail.
So, both of us had same understanding that "we both need THE INSIDE of the eggs, so we can't avoid a conflict"

Until we noticed the (probable) win-win consequence, we kept arguing about the price to buy lol


by the way, after I knew that I had a solution to pay together, I first hid my limit price.
and confirmed "won't you really sell these eggs below $300,000?"
so that if that was possible, I didn't have to pay $200,000 because the other buyer had said they were willing to pay $100,000. I could have hid my limit price and hopefully pay less than $200,000

... is this going too far? lol



What's my sentence?
I loved Ken's idea that we record a video just like the movie on Ken's blog.
now I must think about it seriously... hmmmm
