A request first that SPs do not post to this thread. I know you will all say that your prices are non-negotaible. If you start posting some of us will post who we have negotiated with and that includes tons who have "non-negotiable" on web etc.
How many of you guys negotiate? I have found that almost every SP will negotiate price or time. This is particularly true if you get them at an odd time or when they are not busy or had a cancellation or I guess a lot of other reasons. I know some of you will call me a cheap bastard but I figure I have saved an average of 10 to 15 percent over my pooning career and that adds up to a significant amount of dollars. My best all time negotiation was with someone who is quite prominent on these boards and I got twice as long at two hours at half the hourly price so essentially 75% off.
Just curious how many of you do this?
