As some of you know we have a villa in Orlando that we rent out to holidaymakers through the year to help cover our costs of ownership - anyway, had someone get in touch about some dates for next year, told him it was available and offered a price of £1800.
At no point did he object to the price, normally if it's over budget they'll say straight away and that will be the end of that. Instead this guy sounded very interested, and asked several questions, and I mean several I've never had so much email correspondence with a prospective guest (somewhere around 20 emails back and forth) and he even wanted to speak to some previous guests so I put him in touch with 2 guests who had stayed previously..........
Everything came back very positive and exactly as he was expecting, and now he turns around and says that everything is great but his budget is £1500 so he won't be going ahead! :cursing:
What would you do? Part of me thinks I should just leave it at that, but the other part wants to send him a pretty harsh email asking what was the point of all the emails if it was over price?
In actual fact I quoted him the wrong price (way under what I normally would) but that was my error so was going to honour the price anyway - £1800 for 3 weeks is an absolute bargain........that's £85 a night for a 6 bed home with private pool, not even sure you could get a decent hotel room for that!
Some people make me so angry :Chair:
I would send a sarcastic email back and confirming he's not interested and you cannot accept 1500, i get this alot on ebay

parthiban I didn't actually think of that, could it be a ploy to drop the price further seeing as we've come this far?

Will you take £1500 for 6 months mate, i'll email you 25 times if thats ok :laugh:
Oh and do we get a fully fueled hire car too for that price
Sometimes makes you wonder why people bother mate, seen the pic's of your place in the past and it is a fantastic place, :thumbup1:
Yes, it will be a deliberate ploy to make you think he's really interested, and that you'll drop the price because he's serious about it.
