What would you answer to guest in that situation

[Marie82]

hi marie im a real up front person i love your space ive found another space on airbnb superhost for 395 i like yours so much better can you please get back asap with your final offer i would love to lock this up now thx david Today at 06:25

[Sarah977]

Quite a pushy approach, I'd say.

"I'm sorry, I don't offer discounts. Best of luck finding something within your budget."

[Thomas1033]

My reply would be I am glad you like my listing but I feel you would be much happier with a property that meets your budget, happy hunting!

[Lisa723]

“I hope you enjoy the other space,”

[Marie82]

@Sarah977 @Lisa723 @Thomas1033 forgot to mention the guest is also a host

[Sarah977]

@Marie82  It's astounding to me that other hosts behave like this.

[Ian-And-Anne-Marie0]

Is he 'actually' a host or does his profile 'just' say he is? Check it out.

I'd reply:

"Hi David, We're upfront hosts and our prices are up front too 🙂 We don't do deals but you're welcome to book with us, we also think our place is so much better too! "

Also sounds 'scammy' to me.

@Marie82   Unbelievable. 

I'd say, 'Great, I'm glad you found a listing at your price point!"

[Lynette57]

@Marie82  i would wish them well and tell them I hope they enjoy the other space they found. Regardless if they are a host or not I feel their request is down right rude,

[Rachel0]

@Marie82 When he says he's "upfront" what he really means is that he is pushy and demanding.  I would be equally "upfront" with him and tell him that you don't do deals on demand and that he should look for somewhere that meets his budgetary requirements.

@Marie82  Or you could have a bit of fun and respond: "I am so sorry but I am unable to offer any discounts to someone who refuses to use punctuation or capital letters. Enjoy the other place that you have found."

[Branka-and-Silvia0]

@Susan151 

No punctuation and no capital letters is better than no punctuation and all capital first letters. Try to read this profile till the end, if you can 😄  https://www.airbnb.com/users/show/161581190

@Branka-and-Silvia0  I can't.  I gave up at about the third paragraph of strange ramblings, but good for him, he shows me very clearly that he is too weird to be inside my house as a guest, and anyone who can made sense of that writing will probably be his soulmate.
