Negotiations are always this way, in these situations, interest is all that matters, don't think that prominent families really look down on others, only choosing the expensive and not buying the right one. That kind of situation is generally reflected in pettiness, in the face of real big issues, they won't budge, that's normal.
Negotiation is about patience, about who can put their pride aside.
