Enquiring about price
Jacques: Good morning, is that Rocky speaking?
Rocky: Morning, this is Rocky. Is that Jacques?
Jacques: Yes.
Rocky: Nice talking to you again. How's the weather in your part of the world?
Jacques: Terrific. Sunny, 28°C, light breeze...
Rocky: Stop! I can't take any more. It's snowing here! So, what can I do for you, Jacques?
Jacques: I need a couple of your Q2000 speedboats to rent to my guests. Can you give me a quote?
Rocky: Let's see... Uh, the list price is US$6,500. You're a valued customer, so I'll give you a 10% discount.
Jacques: That's very reasonable. Do you have them in stock?
Rocky: Sure we do! We set up new inventory controls last year, so we don't have any backlogs any more.
Jacques: That's good. The tourist season is just around the corner, so I need them pretty quick. What's the earliest shipping date you can manage?
Rocky: They can be ready for shipment in two to three weeks.
Jacques: Perfect. What's the total CIF price, Rocky?
Rocky: Hang on... The price will be US$7,850 to your usual port. Do we have a deal?
Jacques: You bet! Send me a fax with all the information, and I'll send you my order right away. I'll organise a letter of credit, as usual. Same terms as always?
Rocky: Of course.
Jacques: Great, Rocky. Bye. Wait a minute. Please say hello to your family for me.
Rocky: Thank you and the same goes for me. Bye, Jacques.
