SalesRep: Let me see what we can do. Okay, you have a deal.
Sales Rep was happy. I was happy and I'll never ever have a tile floor in my kitchen again!

Redwitch, good point to negotiate on price.
It is a buyer's market.
I can also understand your point about tile in the kitchen.
I know of a orthopedic doctor who pulled out all of the travertine in his kitchen and put down linoleum because it was easier to walk on.
She was sick of having to put mats to cushion the kitchen floor.
