Are you any good at haggling
Jump to: Newest in thread
"I think I am . But when they say deal I always think could I have gone lower .  Evening everyone  "
I actually did advanced negotiation skills 
There’s a degree of acting in haggling, showing displeasure. Showing the cash early is useful if you want the person to know you really do intend to buy, even putting into their hand and taking the item. They will stop you if they don’t agree.
You can almost always go lower but why ? Returns vs effort diminish at the bottom. A win/win is usually better than a win/lose.
It’s often much better to shop around than haggle. Ladies jeans in CK £140. Haggled to £110. Same jeans on Asos for £90. CK online on offer for £70 plus 10% new customer discount so £63

What about when they offer badges from a little box under the counter? |

I'm amazing at it! I once went into a store to buy a pair of shoes and asked the assistant how much a certain pair were.
He said "£60"
So I said "£40"
And he said "£60"
And I said "50"
And he said "60"
So I paid £60... |

The most important thing with sales people is to say before you ask for a price, "Give me the best price right out of the gate. I don't have time to haggle, and neither do you. It cheapens both of us. You get one chance only. Give it your best shot."
This usually concentrates their offer.
And if the offer is not what you are looking for, be firm, resolute and walk away. Never ever give them a second chance.
