Comment on Ask HN: how can I practice negotiation?parent

Comments

I was going to suggest going to a car lot and offering a price of -%15 of asking price provided the vehicle is between $30,000 - $50,000.

However, an offer although verbal, is legally binding, and should the sales person accept the offer... trouble can arise.

This is completely false. The value of a verbal contract cannot exceed $500.

The sales person may try to pressure you into going through with the deal by telling you the contract is binding, but no court in the world would make you pay ~30k for a car just based on you saying you wanted it.
