Haggling, who does it?

[Rye Oil Ltd]

Just wondering who haggles with suppliers and what's the biggest discount you've managed. Do customers try to haggle your prices down. I managed to get £1000 knocked off a £11000 filling machine.

I love haggling, and the banter, couple of local big suppliers now always expect it from me, and maybe they even up the price before i start, i even throw in odd ones asking if they will take higher prices than what they are asking, they love it, on average i tend to get the vat plus 10 to 20 % off but thats for cash, i always insist it goes in the Xmas fund. Larger deals are also to be had, you don't ask you don't get, time of year is also a key factor , just had a very good deal on a new chipper

Makes me cringe!

Come on chaps that's not the way we British do things. Much better to pay over the odds then moan about it after.

Love Haggling, ms 660 for 1000 euro. Stihl forestflex trousers for 100, why not!

[Mark Bolam]

Did they give you 100 Euros to take the Stihl trousers?

 

You should have haggled mate....

haven't the brass neck for it but I know some people that are amazing at it like the guy that got a landy I looked at but didn't haggle he managed to get it from £1100 down to £350!! it was a series 3 the bulkhead was pretty bad shape but otherwise it was on a galvie chassis and had an overdrive fitted! man I wished I had the gift of the gab!

Ha ha, spot on.

 

I'll haggle occasionally. Some you win, some you don't.

I haggle but hate doing it.
