But some people are like that and I call it "personal principle".

I had this friend who is a fuerdai and was looking at a place in West side back in 2009... the asking was 1.58M I believe... he offered 1.5M, and the seller countered with 1.55M. My friend didn't budge and said no. The agent, wanting to get the sales done as he was representing both side worked a deal with the seller regarding his commission to bring the offer down to 1.52M... but no... my friend simply walked away and bought another place for 1.8M.

I asked him why not take the other place for 1.52M? (I thought it had better layout and located on a quieter street albeit a bit smaller) and he said it's a matter of principle. And yes, he agreed the other place was a better buy.
thats not principle that's 'face' his ego was bruised, when the owner said no, and then he was just being petty when he refused the final discounted offer from the seller/agent
