True, but one of the primary rules of negotiating is that you can go up after
a bid, but never down. Start with the $10K and you are more likely to get it
at $12K.
Seems like the price should be more near the $10K mark anyway...but Daniels
is correct. You can buy a "driver for $4K and then spend 10 grand more
getting it up to snuff easy.
