any updates on the 56?
It is frustrating while looking on providers websites-there is NO mention of pricing. Most do-some don't. If not when is proper time to bring up as we want to funds in envelope when we get there? Do we ask at initial phone call or email or text? And TER is not necessarily the correct amount they are seeking?
Do you really want to play "Let's Make a Deal"? with a woman who is going to get her back up if you haggle with her when she's the one that started bargaining.
If a lady really doesn't want to haggle she needs to put the price up out front. Other wise it's no damn different than buying a rug... This fine piece of oriental craftsmanship is worth 5 grand. That piece of old crap is not worth 5 dollars. My children would starve if I let it go for less than a thousand. Well my children would be begging in the street if I paid you any more than $500....
Life is too damned short for shit like this.
I said NOTHING-NOT A DAMN THING ABOUT HAGGLING! Providers get testy and for good reason when "john" brings up the issue of $$$. In fact it would be better if the word "MONEY" was never mentioned.
You see the price$$$-put cash in envelope-place in bathroom or dresser and not a word is said.
Thats what Im talking about-
And another thing-this is to protect me also-a man gets busted when he brings up cash.
You are the fool here.

I would assume the lady to be flexible on her pricing policy.
To meet whatever the current market conditions ( or need ) is.
Especially if it is her current and personal page.
So in my opinion its perfectly acceptable to say, I don't
see your gift listed on your page ad or whatever, what is your gift amount?
And as soon as you ask, be prepared to hear a "click" sound on your phone as she hangs up (or watch as your email goes unanswered).
Uncle Leo likes your recommendation, however. Makes his job a whole lot easier lol.

The OP asked a common question. It does need an answer. Mongo gave good advice but brought up facts not in evidence. The OP didn't mention haggling. I think his response was a bit harsh but I get it.
We often explain ways to get price information when it can't be found. If she doesn't have it anywhere she must be OK with talking about it. Ask if she could point you to the place her gift can be found. If she breaks contact it's on her not on you.
Now after events here in the recent past there is a need for extra caution. My advice to lancelong is move on to someone that has the information you need readily available. That advice applies whether you're asking generally or if you have a specific provider in mind. LE will want you to ask about price and leave that info out intentionally so you do.
Hope this helps.
