OK people. Help me out here. I did a cake tasting for a potential client. And it was the father who initially contacted me and discussed details at length about what his daughter wanted. (I found this a little different to begin with). The bride, mother and father came. We talked about what she was interested in and then he asked about pricing. I told him my prices start at $3.50/serving for brides and $3/serving for grooms for standard flavors of Yellow, Chocolate, marble. Redvelvet, Straw. and carrot were 25 cents more a serving. I charge a set-up and delivery fee of $50. the cake was going to be a 4 tiered cake. Delivered to a place that has 2 flight of stairs. He asked if it was negotitable. I said no. He said we'll see. I offer my bride's free cake plateau rental for orders over $1000 and this order would be. That is a $50 value in itself for the plateau for the grooms and brides together. I told him that would make up that $50 for him. They left after the tasting and said they would get back to me in a week. He called me back and approached the delivery and set-up fee again and I reminded him that I said it was non=negotiable then and still is. He was shocked that I was willing to "give up the whole thing just over $50" I could have said the same thing about him but didn't.
What do you think?

My sister's husband used to sell cars for awhile. (I used to get a lot of comedy mileage from "My brother in law the used car salesman."). He actually DID say this to a guy once. They had negotiated the price down but the guy wanted $100 more taken off. He said to BIL, 'Are you going to lose this sale over a lousy hundred bucks?" BIL said, "No..... the question is are YOU going to lose this car over a lousy hundred bucks?"
