🤝 Master Negotiation Tactics

🎭 Psychological Techniques

The "Scarcity Angle"

Script: "I have someone else interested, but I'd prefer to trade with you first."

When to use: When seller seems hesitant about your offer

Success rate: ~60% when used sparingly

The "Value Builder"

Approach: Highlight unique aspects of your offer that others might miss

Example: "This pet has perfect breeding stats + it's from the anniversary event"

Impact: Increases perceived value by 15-30%

The "Future Potential" Frame

Strategy: Emphasize upcoming updates/events that will increase item value

Usage: "With the breeding update coming, this pet will be perfect for..."

Effectiveness: Works best with informed traders

💬 Communication Mastery

Opening Lines That Work

For Buyers: "Hey! Saw your [item], been looking for this exact variant!"

For Sellers: "I've got a [rare item] if you're interested in upgrading"

Cold Approach: "Quick question - are you trading any [category] items?"

Objection Handling

"Too expensive": "I understand, what price range works for you?"

"Need to think about it": "Of course! Any specific concerns I can address?"

"Not interested": "No worries! Know anyone who might be?"

Closing Techniques

Assumptive Close: "Great! Should we do the trade now or later?"

Alternative Close: "Would you prefer Sheckles or items as payment?"

Urgency Close: "I can hold this for you until [time], does that work?"
