There’s always a sense of fulfilment when you get something for much less than the asking price. It doesn’t have to be difficult - when it comes to the art of negotiating, what you need is a little determination and some magic lines.

 

Know what stores are willing to haggle with you and which products to haggle on. Don’t waste time haggling over a dollar – you might end up spending four hours haggling only to have saved four dollars.

 

Making comments like “Hmm I’m not sure yet” indicates you’re interested, but you could always do without it – you’re just waiting for a goodie to sweeten the deal. Walking away may even entice the seller to be more amendable to your terms.

 

Sellers have more time to talk to you at the beginning or every end of the day. You’re also likely to get a better deal at the start of the day since most sellers like to start the day with a good sale.

 

You stand a much better chance of getting your way if you are a happy shopper rather than an angry shopper. If you don’t like the deal that the seller is offering just walk away.
