My famous Court-room negotiation over the damage to my Supra from my neighbors:
Me : "I just had $3000 in paint done."
Them: "We just put a ding in it, it doesn't need repainted. We'll give you $800 to go on with life"
Me: "$2500. They did the damage on purpose with a rock"
Them: "humph... Listen, I don't know why you think it's worth that. It's just an old car"
Me: "$3200"
Them: "......."
Me: "Now, $2500 sounds good, doesn't it"
Them: "Let me talk this over"
<confer>
Them: "We'll offer you $1000 to put the whole stupid thing behind us"
Me: "$1800."
<Confer>
Them: "$1200"
Me: "Did I say $1200? I said 1800."
Them: "You can't expect us to pay more than twice our original offer"
Me: "$2000"
Them: "........"
I'm like an Evil Peter Griffin ("Please, excuse him.. he can't haggle") I finally got $1500, which went on bills anyway. And then they slashed my friend's tires the following week. I should have taken them to court.
