[QUOTE="bluemoon, post: 145406, member: 1296"]I spotted a pair of scones I liked. I went to the store about once a month for a year and got the price from 550€ down to 400€. Another 6 months passed and I went back, pointed out some flaws and showcased the cash that I had, saying I didn't have any more and that I would go to another store if I didn't get the sconces for 350€. And they sold them for that. I don't bargain always, but when I do, I play the "poor young student card" and "this items gets a good home" card and the good old "no one else these days would buy this item" -card Sometimes I just stick around / come back so many times that unless the item has been sold to someone else, the seller just wants to get it over with and ends up selling it for the price I want. My bargaining isn't too effective though, most of the time I'm happy to pay what I can.[/QUOTE]
