You guys forget the old Arabian tactic called 'haggling' ??
I think thats the main reason for going offlist - it makes it easier to deal with one client at a time: -
I tell you Ksh 8000
You say that you have Ksh. 6000
I tell you, that aint possible, make it Ksh. 7500 cos i got it for like ksh. 7300 etc etc...
