The relationship between a buyer and seller is ideally not adversarial. I have often appreciated those sellers who assume that I am a man of honor. It conveys to me that they are as well.

And the better sellers are WAY more than that. They are consultants, advisors, historians, and more.

We are not in a fight here. No one is trying to get the better of me. Oh yes, there are the short term thieves. But which thief has been around a while? I guess there is the paper cut out crew. But they are obvious, or should be.

Play nice - essentially everyone else is.
