yes, sure, no problem!
how come you have to have my credit card in your hand though?
if we come to terms on the price, i should give you a deposit. however, i dont think i should have to give you a deposit at the negotiation stage. the deposit should be when the sales manager and i agree on a price and we shake hands. at that stage, whatever we negotiated would be the deposit should change hands.
i dont think this is the process though. its usually, give us a deposit with your FIRST offer. no?
