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?

In 1970 yes.

Today, no.
