How to Get a Real Bargain

1. When you begin to haggle with the seller, try to start counter back with a low price, then negociate the price from that base price, and add a little money when the seller refuse your offer firmly.

2.Purchase with other travelers and order a large quantity of goods can always get yourself a discount price for the goods.

3.Act casual and do not expose your true demand, even if you love the goods very much. If you show your interest to the seller, then there is a great chance that the seller won’t make any price concesiion. So it’s best to hide your interest from the seller and suggest that you can buy the goods or just leave it.

4.Shop when there is less people.If the shop is crowded with customers, then it’s not a good time for bargaining. On the one hand, if you counter offer a low price, which is higher than the price limit of the seller and he may accept when there are less customers, the seller normally will not accept the price when there are many customers. If he accepts your price, then other customers will ask for the same price. Besides, one customer is not that important when there are many customers.

5.Purchase just before the store closes.If you buy goods when the seller is going to close the store, then you’ll have a great chance to get a real bargain. Most sellers will not refuse to make one more deal before closing the store, and even the last deal is less profitable than other deals.

6.Shopping around to compare the prices in other shops. If you can’t reach an agreement on the price with the seller, then you can always shop around to see if there are other sellers selling the same goods and find a lower price. By the way, you can always come back to the store if you can’t find cheaper goods and you really love the goods.
