Wow, is it fun when one of the people who replaced you contacts you on LinkedIn asking for help.
@drwho my rate is x talk to so and so to get a purchase order approved.
@laprice Do you think 3x or 5x would be more appropriate?
@drwho I'd split the difference and go 8x and let them talk you down to 6x.
@laprice Another message just arrived. Going to try that.

@drwho @laprice You might try https://bidwix.com/ instead of haggling -- interesting idea, basically just helps two parties negotiate the geometric means of their secret min/max limits.

Of course, it does *reveal* both parties' limits to each other, effectively, once the deal is made.

(If you like haggling, then never mind. But I hate it.)

The fast, fair way to agree on a price — BidWix

One-shot negotiation without back-and-forth. A bargaining mechanism where honesty is your best strategy.
