Today I went to treat myself to a new guitar, found a Tokai Love Rock Les Paul Junior reduced from ?599 to ?399. Of course, its a steal, BUT...........do I pay the ?399 or be a cheeky cunt and ask for a few more quid off as, 1) I have brought 2 guitars from him in 12 months, and 2) Cold cash is STILL cash in anyones book, and a 'discount' is usually 'the norm'

I want to flash about ?350 and Im happy. The alternative is to pay the ?399 and blag lots of freebies such as a decent strap, picks and strings.

That sort of money and I would def. say "Anything off for cash?". He can only say no.
Go for it Ace. I always do.

Trouble is though, the cunt knows I want it after my testing, Im willing to bet that he'll recognise me and stand his ground for the ?399.
I can always return at 3.00am and superglue his locks to the doors

I paid the asking amount, ?399, and got a free 'basic' strap.
I contacted a helpful bloke at Tokai who informs me that it was indeed a fantastic bargain. Thank fuck it was my ankle I bollocked up and not either of my hands!!

200 quid off of the original price is definately a bargain.
Knowing your luck, in a couple of weeks, it'll be even cheaper and thats when Mad Axeman MacGroyn buys two!
