Learn how to bargain

Postby Yugocean » 25 Apr 2023, 06:06

Bargaining is an art; you must be bargaining in the market. It's a great way to save money, but do you know how to bargain with your demand?

Sellers are also not less skilled; they also know how to impress the bargainers. Also, many sellers refuse to negotiate by giving the fixed price reason. Dealing with them is also an art.

I got this idea from Clive Rich in his book "The Yes Book", which talks about the need to negotiate before doing anything and also gives ideas for bargaining. You would do well if you educate yourself in the field of bargaining.

I think I am talented on the art of bargaining. I am glad to be in the position of having a higher bargaining power to almost everything that I need to purchase on the market

I can only bargain at fairs here, almost all stores have fixed prices and only have discounts during sales season.

The ability to bargain is a fundamental skill that everyone in my country has by default. That is because you are taught the art of bargaining at a very young age.

Sometimes bargaining power can lead to a reduction in price.

This is not a power, but an art, price is always lower, people need to get it.

In India's context, we should keep away the urge of bargaining even if we are adept in it from the poor streetside vendors, and hawkers, many of whom live on hand to mouth. Rather, we should confront the overcharging restaurants/ fixed-price shops when they hand over an exorbitant bill amount and we meekly settle with it, despite feeling they are charging much extra. We should be voicing our concerns about the malpractice of those shops on social media groups.

I can only bid on products sold in traditional markets, while in minimarkets/supermarkets, malls or other modern shops, prices are not allowed to be negotiated.

In my country, prices are fixed at supermarkets and super stores.

That's why l don't usually go for the stores that sell their items in fixed prices. You can get the same items very cheap in other stores.

That means you have to be doing your shopping in the open market. You can bargain as much as you can there.

Bargaining is a skill that must be learned. It has psychological aspects which must be mastered. Some of us got it by watching our parents and elderly relatives do it.

It's certainly a skill and some are born with this skill but this skill can be learned and worked upon

I have been able to negotiate and bargain to get things on the cheap. Even one loan I got, I was able to get it interest free with bargain.
