Turns out it was just a potato

I was a fly on the wall during a software contract renewal negotiation. My boss underbid the contract by an amount I thought they'd laugh at. It was a super awkward conversation and yet he got them to agree. What you're ignoring is leverage. The dealer in your example loses nothing by rejecting...
