Thanks for a great article. Haggling is such a lost art now-a-days.

great way,I once started a stand on the street for selling some chinese folk materials,and yes,different ppl using different way to bargain,some are just like 40 or even less percent and some are not haggling just like AbbyNormal thinking it's hard for the young make a living.I think you can haggle,but do not go extreme,esp.to those street vendors,who would yelling around for selling commodities under a -15C winter nite!

LOL, this reminds me of my haggler father in-law. My husband and I were at the local Nissan dealer for about 3 hours with him when he was shopping for a new truck, he nearly got up and walked out at one point but he ended up getting them to go down on the price %5,000 because he was paying cash.

The best tip is to be prepared to walk away. The seller will usually come down in price to stop you from leaving. Thanks for the tips.

I really don't haggle. I will ask nicely if I can get a discount on a more expensive item if it is out of my range. I shop antiques, not flea markets. Just be nice! Everyone is trying to make a living. Have respect!

Even when shopping online it is still possible to haggle if you pick up the phone or email. Small to medium sized e-tailers are more likely to haggle. Join a haggling community (they do exist) where people help each other to find and haggle better deals.

You could always point out (if it is the case) that: "This is the first time of probably many more future transactions. So as a goodwill gesture could you consider a discount please?" It worked for me once!!

Haggling depends on the buying place also. If you go to Mainland China, you sometimes can buy the item at one third the stated selling price.

Offer to buy more then 1 of the same item if they drop the price. Instead of selling 1 item at $6 each, they may be happy to sell 2 or 3 of them at only $5 each instead. Most would rather make a sale of $15 for 3 items, instead of a $6 sale for 1 item.
