The message
from Andy Hall contains these words:

You mean you don't haggle on prices when they are published?

Yes, but I'd like to know /roughly/ where I'm starting to see whether
it's even worth bothering to start.



Doesn't help.


Yes it does. If one boiler's got a list price of £300 and another of
£1200 then I've a good idea of where to start.


So you ask them for the list price when you contact them followed by
their selling price.

Then you compare the product and price with others and decide whether
it's way out of line.

The starting price gives you no indication of eventual discount -
other factors provide the clues there.
