Do you negotiate?

If I'm buying it from a private individual then I always try to talk them down. I buy and sell a lot of horses and so I always see how little I can pay. At a larger retail store I only ask if I'm paying in cash for a large purchase. Typically a manager will give you a cash discount if you ask. It never hurts. I got $50 off a Blue Ray player this past weekend just by asking.

Hi iessi I am not good in bargaining at all, i have tried but got cheated, because some times one can buy at one tenth of the exaggerated price tag, but my wife is good at it.. I always buy stuff from shops in mall, they give you a cash memo against purchase and gurantee card is signed and stamped by them Thanks for the discussion. Have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘@Bhuwan@’. .

i usually do, if it is used. no one should buy used stuff at an expensive price. that is a rip off and the people just want to get rid of it anyway. that it why they are doing a garage or yard sale--to get rid of their junk. if i want to buy it expensive, i would buy it new from the store. some people at garage sales will give u their junk for free, or like very cheap. i have bought used books for 25 cents and cheaper, and they are classic novels.

If I really, really wanted the item, I'd probably pay the asking price. If I didn't care that much and the price was higher than I though it should be, I'd probably say, "I'm not paying that much," and walk away. I'm not any good at dickering.

Well it depends on what and where am I buying. If it is on the stalls or on the market, I usually haggle with them. Sometimes they gave in to my price. But in malls where the price is fixed, you don't have any choice but to settle with their price unless you purchase on a sale period where most of the prices are marked down.

A good friend told me there was a big mistake not to try to negotiate in any situation. As the bad bargain is broken and it's a shame not to try to get everything in better conditions or lower price, if any, however, a way to do it. He said that rich people negotiate the price of blood every luxury item you bought. Like when they take to hire a car many not know how many tens of thousands of dollars when buying for themselves or for their lovers or beat many a watch with diamonds. As the end of every year to enjoy, seeing how many have saved millions of skillful negotiation. I never did I even hired at the market, where it is assumed that everyone is entitled to do so. Not long ago, I was in Israel with a friend, and there I entered a jewelry store where I bought myself, without hesitation, a pair of earrings that I thought were so beautiful , so I thought I could not live without them. I paid as I was told, without thinking any moment I could give less. My friend, instead, negotiated with so much skill for her bracelet, so he obtained a considerable reduction. Before leaving the store, the clerk stopped me and handed me a fiver and ask me to get them back. "You do not get you hired at all, but I could do and know you reduce," she said. I am embarrassed about bargain around money, whether it's a connection cost of parsley, or that of a house. In fact, the negotiations are hindered in any way. Do not know how to insist and I convince my interlocutor that is the correct price or as my proposal is fair. But I think you all of my inability to ask for my rights vigorously and stubbornly. In my inability to detach from the calamity that I wear all my life with me: either everything or nothing. The belief that is not worth asking when it's so nice to get, plain and simple. The joy of believing, naively, that in one day, will give my life without measure, without obstacles trust, love without bargaining.

Hope you can talk them down. I am not good at negotiating. When I go shopping, or go booking a travel, I ask my sister to accompany me. She is really good at it. According to her, we need to know the normal practice in the respective shopping areas. Some do not give discount at will, so there is no need to waste time. For instances, in some franchises, the prize and discount is decided by the headquarters. In other places, sales lady leave as much as 50% water for you to squeeze. Just cut it over half and raise it little by little to your satisfaction. In front of the saleslady, do not show your keen interest in the goods. It is better to pretend indifferent, so that she might try hard to persuade you perhaps with a lower price.

Sure you negotiate. First you must know what a new item goes for.Then in this case, a OUTDOOR playset ,you need to inspect it. Something ,used,outdoors you dont want to pay close to full price. Maybe not even half because it has been in the snow, rain,hail , hot, cold,being abused by children. Is it plastic or metal, how old ? Try it out, use it. See if the kids like it. But in the end it is up to you,but always know how much it sold for new. good luck

well to be frank i m not good at negotiating but still i try my best to negotiate while you are buying something and especailly when your buying some road side stuff because they generally tell you the highest price so that you come down to say 10% or 20% but still he is going to earn a lot so even if you are not good at it you should try to bargain.....

i always start by haggling but if the seller doesnt want to give in and i really want the item then i just pay it for the said price. but if i think that the seller's price is far too much for the look of the product then i just let it pass and wait for another time and item that is worth buying.

It depends on the stuff I am buying. If I know its still in very good condition or barely new I don't deal much. Otherwise, I bargain alot. If he doesn't give-in, hello! there are many other sellers in the market. Happy Shopping :)

ofcourse i do negotiate with people when i feel that the price is too high... noone knows the original price and the best way to negotiate is quote the price as half to the original...,

Yes. Negotiating can be a talent. By learning how to negotiate, you can by quality products at the best price. Negotiate and save a lot of money.

I tend to shop at places where the employees have no control over the price of their product. There have been exceptions. I have worked deals with people at the Source. There was one time where I went into the store looking to buy a mic and a guitar for Rock Band on the xbox 360. The manager told me I was in luck. He had someone come into the store buying a full bundle. The man was impatient and ripped the drum kit out. He told the manager that it was all he needed. He walked off. The manager grabbed both from the back. In Canadian dollars, I paid $30 for the guitar, and $20 for the mic.

In selling, i know negotiating is really possible and i do it myself when i buy second hand stuff. I always ask what's the last price and have a chat until he/she will decide to give less but if i knew that it will be the same price and i really like the stuff i will buy it even if they don't give it to me lesser the amount. At least i have tried negotiating. Who knows maybe when you negotiate you will get lesser amount.

Always leave the door open regardless if they accept lower price or not. Negotiating is best if you think it is worth less. Also, demand may play a role and factor, but economy helps in pushing negotiation agreements as well. Leave the door open if a no answer, offer your phone number & email perhaps, and tell them if they change they're mind to contact you. Ok, for negotiations as them some questions when they are done talking that may convince them that the item is truthfully of no use to them, and selling would be beneficial. Examples of decent questions to help would be: 1. Would you like to free space in your house? Ask them if they're kids plan on using it again polite manner questions.Most of all,listedn to them without interruption if they are angry or disputing lower price. Try to convince them that selling is to they;re advantage. If you ask questions right, they may belive they answered leaving them with the solution of selling to you at the lower price. Try to convince them they more than likely do not need it. Andother idea may be to sign up at Freecycle and request the item, perhaps posting a want listing on several wbesites such as Craigslist. Do searches for them, and you will find the sites needed, and perhaps your item from someone else should the person you are currently dealing with may not sell at the lower reduced price to you. Sincerely, UnityOfGoals :) God Bless!

I always negotiate when it comes to price.hahaha!! I do not buy a stuff when sellers do not give me the price I ask them. I know there is always a substitute or a place where I could find a cheaper price. I want to buy a lot of things that is why i want a cheaper price.

Hi, Well I do.Not in "Fixed Price" shops, but elsewhere YES.I am not a good negotiator, but I try to negotiate, which gives my heart "Consolation". =Lahiri,Kolkata,India.

When I am garage saling, I tend to dicker down the price. I suppose it goes back to shopping with my grandpa when I was young and being told I couldn't buy something unless I asked if they'd take less. Most of the time people are reasonable and wishing to sell, so they come down. Those that have high prices, I simply don't buy from-it's used.

oh sure you can talk them down. if you was buying a house you dont go in for the asking price, you try to get a bargin. its the same when buying a car, market items and items that may be damaged in retail shops but you still what. there is no shame in doing this. the frist time i tried to talk someonedown on a price i felt rude or something. as if it was wrong for me to do this. i dont know why but i got it at a bargin price and felt great.
