Went with the missus to test drive a new car as a potential replacement for her mini and left having sold the salesman a pen for £30:banana:

Poor guy looked a bit bemused:funny:

For this we must have a tutorial Bob .. :ciggrin:

Love It .. :thumbs:

Twas dead easy:

To have a test drive you need to sign insurance forms. I just said "that's not a pen, THIS is a pen" and signed it with mine. Then handed it over for him to inspect, (he has to as he's trying to sell a car:wink:)

He says "did you REALLY make that - how much?, can I have one? Reply "usually £40 but you can have this one for £30 'cos it's now used.

That's the same trick they use. Buy a new car and it loses a sizeable chunk as soon as it leaves the showroom.

It's the first time I've tried it but worked a treat:funny:

Well done Bob. Go back & ask him to put a special offer on. Like Parkinson, " free handmade pen with every sale." You being the pen supplier of course.:whistling::whistling::whistling:

There's a twist to this.
Ordered a car this morning (got a heluva deal tho:winking:), so it looks as if he'll get his money back, however............... his manager has said he wants to buy a pen as well:thumbs:
