Title: [FWDLK] in Re: Let's Make a Deal!
Currently, the deal to watch is the NFL channel vs the television networks, and cable TV.
NFL channel wants to be placed on the lowest tier of cable, and have more watching.
Cable wants NFL channel placed on a higher tier, with added cost to viewers.
 
Approaching is the November coverage of NFL games that NFL channel purchased.
 
NFL channel will withhold them, unless it gets placed on the lower tier.
 
An interesting part of this is the consumer, who wishes to view the games.
Can they effect the outcome ?  Who will blink first ?
 
Why do I care ?    I want to see some of those games.
 
Like a car deal... it is fun to watch.
 
When I worked at a large Dodge dealership, I had plenty of opportunity to watch the games
of car-buying and car-selling.  Don't worry about the dealership making money.  It will.
If we had sold everything at our cost, we would still make money because Dodge sent quarterly
checks rewarding us a percentage for all the "extra" equipment we sold on those vehicles.
Never mind the MSRP. Thanks to the internet, it is easier to get an idea of the invoice price.

I should have elaborated more, on Buyer's Ploy #2, as that describes the
infinite beauty
of the deadly-serious art of negotiation.

Just because I might know the rules of chess does not make me a Grand
Master at the game.

It is instructive to observe the variations of the game, as it is being
played-out, in daily life
and when we are discussing the buying and selling of  FWDLK cars.

Backing away from the bargaining table is an essential part of
intelligent negotiation. That's
why auctions are not a fair venue, for prospective buyers; restricted
time-element, and elevated
emotions tend to overrule a buyer's  monetary control over the proceedings.

Back on the Buyers Ploy #2, I should have ADDED, to the comment , about
: '..buyers remorse...'
the following : "OR, the seller's anxiety, "...to avail itself, before
committing yourself to the deal.

These pauses, in the negotiation, can last micro-seconds (for a raised
eyebrow, or a quick
looking-away to occur) , or can take days/weeks to play out, as in any
formal contract
negotiation; it's all the same game, but played out for different
stakes/outcomes, and  always
