These hardline stances are a bit amusing. Everyone has a breaking point whether they choose to admit it (publicly or to themselves) or not. Is there honor in taking a loss to stand behind a deal? Yea, there certainly is... though the older I get the less I find honor in being the chump in a deal.

To those that claim they will always honor their handshake I say bull chit. You walk out of that showroom just like ND and discover you could save another $400 elsewhere....or maybe $1000...or lets move beyond monetary consequences, lets say you realize this deal will somehow put your wife or child at risk(use your imagination, it's not the scenario that's important here). The bottom line is there is a point at which you WILL break that deal, so cut with the absolutism. It's silly.

I have a hard time disparaging a guy for walking out on a deal after realizing he's been had. I don't have a hard time disparaging a guy for going into a deal leading with a lie. I say this not to excuse any action, only to put things in perspective.
