New Haven Joe posted:I always expect that most customers will ask for a price reduction. I am amazed at how many buyers don't ask. I think that most Americans are so used to paying retail prices in stores that they believe all prices are set. Americans have not grown up in a society that bargains.

I am one of those who don't ask, I figure most vendors will come down 5% to 10%. If I see a price that I consider way to high I won't waste my time or theirs, Asking for a 50% off marked price is an insult IMO. With all the info available today, both sides need to do a little homework and decide what the going rates are and start from there.
