    I remember a high school class back in 2015 where we watched Ramsey clips and he said that if you go to the store, you should try to negotiate down the price by showing the cashier and/or seller that you have cash on you.

      That sounds like something I would do. Ask to speak with the manager “but I’m willing to pay with cash”

        If I recall correctly, he was basically saying that, when at someplace like Best Buy, and you are buying a device, you should emphasize to the representative that you have cash. This way, they know that you can pay most of the price there. As a result, you could negotiate a lower price, since they would be getting money right then and there.

            I'm just picturing some person who makes most of their money off of commission having to deal with somebody who is only willing to pay just over half the price of an object, while acting like it is a tremendous amount, since it is in cash.
