Previously, I had Windows and there was no problem there in order to download some kind of application with music and listen to it from there offline. Well, after I bought a MacBook I started having big problems with music. Then I decided to deal with this issue. I found a site here which tells how to solve this problem in a very detailed and understandable way. Therefore, if you also need it, then follow the link!

In my opinion, electronic drums are the most budget-friendly for novice drummers, I will even say that such equipment is used by professionals, because Dear does not mean high quality. Therefore, I prefer to choose by quality, and here I was convinced https://archives.profsurv.com/forum/Professional-Surveyor-Magazine-Discussion/Problem-Corner/-77193.aspx My eyes were opened, and I am glad that thanks to this site I found the drums of my dreams at an affordable price.

As per the given scenario, my answer is B. Request seller response from selected seller to revise its price based on the current market price and also to renegotiate on its given price adjustment.

Can you please see the following explanation in related to the above answer.

In order to be in line with the current price we should have to have a market survey/assessment. .This is because unless we don't have adequate current market price knowledge, we couldn't estimate our price. In the process we should have to consider not only on single service price but also on the following other procurement related points. Soon after having a current market price and supplier availability, develop TOR (Terms of reference) so that invite potential service provider based on the following selection criteria.

1- Evaluation of supplier financial and organization stability.

2- Service provider ability to comply with technical, functional and performance specification.

3- Service delivery schedule and cost factor that must be ensure the total service procurement process are to be in line with BVM (Best Value for money) manner.

4- Investigate supplier performance record and past reputation.
