In our experience people who ask for "best price" are usually the people who cant afford your property and are chancing their arms that you,ll knock the price down

we have no problem telling people to feck off (in a polite way of course) if they give the sob stories about their finances, personal situations etc or promise a booking if we reduce our costs.

we,ve had a few enquiries from Russians but none have ever gotten as far as paying. We generally reply by email but i use my other half whos a native russian speaker to ring an enquiry if it seems suspicious. Suspicious ones for us would be a russian woman enquiring and giving a spanish phone number.
