All the ones I have come across speak English, well they seem to get the message when greeted with "fuck off and die loser" :)

Basically, it means you are dealing with low rent scummers and would be better off ignoring any further attempt at communicating

It means; I can't afford what you're asking, I don't want to pay that much, I want to rip you off so that I get the best deal, I want to pay the lowest price you are willing to take.

I've used this phrase myself with the African trinket sellers on the beach, but that's only because I'm quite the linguist and a communications supremo. One can only assume you are an African, Sweep... :D :D

Had people try that on when I've sold car parts in the past " best price " least you will take mate " or special price for me " to which my reply is . The price I qouted you is my best price that's why I said that amount & then If they still try it on it normally ends in me saying "I would rather Foookin scrap it then sell it to you for faaaack all & then just walk off normally sorts out the time wasters from the proper buyers
Is the juice worth the squeeze ?

No chance ! I have Rav listed in the 'freebies' section but still no takers , just timewasters wanting pics of him in compromising positions with assorted large (very !) vegetables :eek:

Ha! You missed a trick, Pete - I'd have paid much, much more the that, but probably not enough to cover Rav's surgery bill! :D

I always believe that theres a difference between a guy who's travelled to view the car and has cash in hand bartering and a T*at who's seen your ad and texts or perhaps if he's feeling really brave calls to say " whats your bottom price?" .....Like I'm gonna tell you that ! - - -
