Negotiation Trade

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
In-person negotiation skills and barter/trade techniques. Use when someone needs to negotiate a price, hire a contractor, dispute a bill, buy or sell used goods, or wants to trade skills and labor instead of money.

From the source SKILL.md

Most people overpay for everything because nobody taught them to negotiate. This isn't about being aggressive or manipulative — it's about knowing your position, understanding the other side's position, and finding a number that works for both. This skill covers real-world negotiation for the situations that actually matter: hiring contractors, buying used cars, cutting medical bills, haggling at flea markets, negotiating rent, and setting rates for your own work. It also covers barter and trade — swapping skills and labor when money is tight, which is both older and more practical than most…
