The No Where Apocalypse (Book 1): Stranded No Where - Plot & Excerpts
To this day, I think of it all the time. “In any negotiation, son, the person that mentions price loses.” He ended it with a hearty nod and by patting my hands. “First guy who flinches is usually the loser. You have to learn to be patient, Robert.” A few years later, I went to buy my first car. It was a used junker and the man was asking way too much for something in that rough of shape. Still I wanted it; I wanted it bad. “So, what’ll you give me for it?” the seller asked, trying to sound like he wouldn’t take a penny less than what he posted it for. I almost answered right away, almost. $1,000 ran through my mind, but that was a lowball, and I knew it. Then I decided to offer $1,500, something more reasonable. But as I opened my mouth, Dad’s advice shot through my mind. “What do you really want for it?” I asked, trying to sound as uninterested as possible. Within five minutes he signed the title over to me and I handed him a stack of $100 bills, eight of them. Dad wasn’t always right, but he was that time.
