Did you miss the phrase "...when the object should be to make an honest
deal"? Coins in the pocket is more important than honor to a lot of people
today, but that doesn't justify changing an agreed upon price
INDISCRIMINATELY.

I believe if you read my posts, you will see that I agreed that the
tentative, fair price should be negotiated before the pre-buy. If something
else turns up in the pre-buy that I wasn't aware of during the previous
negotiations, then I'd absolutely renegotiate based on new information. On
the other hand, if nothing turned up that I wasn't already aware of, the
honorable thing to do would be to conclude the deal based on the previously
determined fair price.

How can you disagree with this approach?
