How to get the best deals
Always start lower than your target price.
Best Steps to Bargain Effectively
-
Do Your Research: Understand the typical price range for the item or service you are bargaining for.
-
Start Low: Offer a price lower than what you are willing to pay to leave room for negotiation.
-
Be Polite: Maintain a friendly and respectful tone to create goodwill with the seller.
-
Show Interest but Not Desperation: Express interest in the item, but avoid appearing too eager.
-
Use Silence Strategically: Pause after making an offer to let the seller consider your price.
-
Be Prepared to Walk Away: If the price doesn't meet your expectations, be willing to leave. This often prompts the seller to offer a better deal.
-
Bundle Items: If possible, buy multiple items together to negotiate a better price.
-
Close the Deal: Once an agreeable price is reached, finalize the deal with a positive attitude.
Follow these steps to improve your bargaining skills and achieve the best deals in markets, shops, or while traveling.
