Some people really hate to haggle over price and reasons can range from fear to just not knowing how to do it. I suppose the most important factor is to realise that you have nothing to lose by at least trying to negotiate, and apart from that it’s also quite fun.
Before you start to haggle it’s important that there aren’t too many other people around, this is will make it much easier for both you and the salesperson. Also the salesperson may not want to repeat any discount that they give you for everyone in the shop (they may not be able to afford for everyone). You also have to remember that any discount will be completely discretionary and so it is very important that the salesperson or business owner likes you. As such you always want to keep any haggling casual and light has any sign of aggression can end any discount pretty quickly.
One of the most important things when haggling is understanding the facts details and most importantly price of the item from other suppliers. This shows the salesperson that you are capable of taking your business elsewhere, as such you should be armed with prices from other shops and even websites where the same product may be available cheaper.
As I have mentioned good haggling is all about good information so finding products with slight flaws will often allow you to knock large percentage of the asking price. Retailers know that even slightly damaged goods can be very hard to sell and as such will be more than willing to offer a good discount in the hope of selling.
One of the most important factors though is to make sure you’re willing to walk away unless you get the price you want. This allows you to negotiate without fear and puts you in a much better position in any potential Deal.
