I see where you are coming from. If you set a rock-bottom price you have no negotiating room which then ironically makes it look like you're dishonest or difficult because you won't negotiate.

Silly game indeed.

I particularly liked the visual of the man shopping with the woman.

Unfortunately, while many men don't have good negotiating skills - most women definately don't. That's perhaps too blanket of a statement, but it's one that I'll stick with from my own personal observations.

I know for a fact that my wife got hosed on her last car (bought before we met). I'm also pretty sure she would have gotten taken on this last car we bought if I wasn't there (she would have bought the overpriced crap). The thing is, she's an incredibly bright and capable person. She knows a good deal when she sees it and she knows when she's being screwed with..... Except with cars.
