@reglac111, if someone says $30 dollars don't try to talk him into $15. You'll drive the pay down for everyone. Also, its an old post with several other people, so obviously its taken care of by now.
Well, Thats business and you have to get used to it. In real-world this happens all the time in countries like US, UK, Australia for example this happens with India, China, Indonesia negotiating with these countries and attempting to make them outsource projects or whatever to them.
Complaining will get you nowhere in these situation, therefore you must be able to negotiate in business.
