There’s no need, and it’s a waste of energy and time you could be using to make deals, make money, and gain experience. Know your stuff.The 3rd key buying tip is – know your stuff. The more you know, the more you grow. The more you learn, the more you earn.

You can use what you know to persuade the seller on why he should lower the price. There was a Yamaha keyboard I drove 30 minutes to buy one time. Once I got there, I realized that something seemed off with the sound. It was definitely a defect because I’ve owned dozens of these models and this had an actual buzzing sound that came through the speaker. I brought this to the attention of the buyer, and he ended up feeling bad about it (especially since I drove 30 minutes) and sold it to me for $100 instead of what he posted it for which was $200. Know your stuff. Do your research beforehand, use my 4 weapons of determining value to help you here.Poker faceIf you see the deal of a lifetime… a Harley Davidson Motorcycle with Wings on it… made of gold… don’t break out the tickertape and pompoms. Pretend this is Happy Poker. You’re all smiling and friendly on the outside, but inside you’re DESPERATE to score the item – keep it a secret. Don’t let your desire for it show whatsoever. In negotiations, the one who wants the deal the most is weakest. Play stronger. They may take the deal, they may not. You. Just. Don’t. Care. If you end up convincing yourself, more the better, there is an abundance of deals out there. Plus, you’ve got a full pipeline anyways, don’t you?Justify your caseReally put yourself into the sellers shoes now. Why would they want to lower their asking price? What’s their situation? Are they moving and need it gone? Are they content with keeping the item and aren’t rushed to sell? Really figure out the answers to these questions then follow them up with ones like “How quickly can I pick it up?” In this example, they’re motivated to sell quickly and you’re offering to buy it now. You’re a serious customer, not a time waster or tire kicker. At this point you need to close quickly. Be nice, offer to work around their schedule, and if it’s a larger item, you’ll take the edge if you can offer to drive it away without them delivering it for example (IF that was something they offered). Basically – you want to make it as EASY as possible and smooth. Don’t complicate things. Make sure they know you have cash on you and you’re ready to go. Sell yourself as a person then show them you mean business.Walk away and get the deal, example Yamaha keyboard with buzzy speakersEarlier example of the $200 keyboard with the buzzy speakers, I basically told him look, the speakers have this buzz sound, I’m gonna have to pass. At that point he realized and saw that they DID have a buzzy sound, and offered to sell it for $100 bucks. So don’t be afraid to walk away. Often times buyers will stop you and accept your offer just because they want it gone. You’ve just won and sold them on your offer.Wait it out.Speed is critical in getting to the deal, but sometimes once you’re there, patience is going to win it for you. One time I was selling a Swarovski crystal ring and bracelet set. This guy came to see it and actually decided to pass – but he did mention that he’s looking to sell HIS car. He had a 2002 Dodge Durango. Being the Flipping Ninja that I am, I inquired about it to see if it might’ve been a good investment for me. The guy said he was selling it for $2,000 the day before, but $1,500 today if I bought it. I waited 3 days. He called me and said $1,000 cash today. If I went forward with it, I was in a position of power in this negotiation and might have even been able to close the deal for $850, then flip the car for an even bigger profit.Get Creative – Barter Beyond NegotiationNow when it comes to negotiation – you can REALLY get creative and even barter. Go to page 259 in the blueprint and I’ll give you some crazy, awesome examples of creative negotiations at play. Use them to your advantage. Watch what happens when by buyer shows me somethingIgnore the crazies who push your buttons, Example, fridge, page 263Ultimately – remember that negotiation skills are all learnable. Top negotiators are not hard bargainers and tough-minded personalities… they’re actually the opposite. They’re not aggressive and pushy and demanding… Nor do they push people to agreements where both parties aren’t happy. The best negotiators are actually the opposite… Meaning they’re pleasant, warm, kind, friendly, and pretty low-key. When you’re dealing with the true professional negotiator, you don’t even realize there’s a negotiation going on. They’re likable, agreeable, and you just feel comfortable around them. The masters of negotiation are able to immediately… almost build like a certain type of trust where you almost automatically trust them and feel that what they’re asking for is in the best interest of both parties. Try and be that way. Dive into the blueprint for a more detailed overview of this.

Think like a buyer.Be prepared for questions and objections, example: weighted keys on keyboardEducate and provide value.Never argue about value.Tips for Buying:Is there anything I’ll need to do to the X?Be a peacemaker – don’t get into political, religious, inflammatory discussions.The 2nd tip for buying is – similarly to what we mentioned before about simply being professional – try and BE A PEACEMAKER, what I mean by this is don’t get into political, religious, or inflammatory discussions. There’s no need, and it’s a waste of energy and time you could be using to make deals, make money, and gain experience. Know your stuff.The 3rd key buying tip is – know your stuff. The more you know, the more you grow. The more you learn, the more you earn. By learning as much as possible about the item you’re about to buy in order to flip for a profit, it only gives you an upper hand as far as negotiation goes. You can use what you know to persuade the seller on why he should lower the price. There was a Yamaha keyboard I drove 30 minutes to buy one time. Once I got there, I realized that something seemed off with the sound. It was definitely a defect because I’ve owned dozens of these models and this had an actual buzzing sound that came through the speaker. I brought this to the attention of the buyer, and he ended up feeling bad about it (especially since I drove 30 minutes) and sold it to me for $100 instead of what he posted it for which was $200. Know your stuff.
