I am horrible at bargaining. Usually I only bother purchasing things that are already priced right and wouldn’t dare question a pricing for fear of rejection.
In fact, I would venture to say the only time I ever bargain is when an item is not priced, I ask, the price is too high, so I silently put the item back. Usually vendors see this as me playing “hard to get” with their merchandise and quickly work something out.
While my accidental method may work sometimes, I really want to learn the art of bargaining from a professional.
Anyone have tips are methods to having a person lower his or her price of merchandise?
