Haggling, who does it?

[Mortimer Firewood]

I reckon a lot of people say they won't haggle but will "negotiate"

I don't do it often but my missus...had a Tunisian crying when she started. Next day she was pointed at in the market.

i have not had the chance to haggle for arb kit but in a previous job *white water kayaking instructor. i haggled a paddle original price of 240 down to 100.

 

but my best one is i blagged a free buff *neck scarf thingy* sign/flag including the pole and base. me and my mates used to have competitions when we were at shows i even blagged a free ticket in to the show one year.

Always try to haggle the price down... although i wouldn't accept it from a customer...

[gobbypunk]

I will always haggle I love it if you do it with a smile and some humour most people will at least laugh if not drop their price ,when I am at shows with my chainsaw carvings about half my customers will haggle I dont mind as I do it ,its fun

Cheers Mark

There are certain customers who are pre disposed to haggle, they get the "haggle amount" added to the quote to make them fell better.

 

They don't get to feel better when they try for free extras or re negotiating the price when the work is done

 

If the price is negotiable I will negotiate as hard as I can

When some one haggles me down I feel inclined to give them there monies worth and do a half arsed job.

Usually leave a but if mess and deffinatly no free extras, which I'm usually happy to do

 

You'll always get what you pay for

If I give a price it's for a top job if they want to haggle they can go somewhere elsa. Why would you feel the need to leave a mess you accepted the price. In previous posts you come across an been very profeshanel?

Ah thanks I think

 

Usually I always aim to exceed expectations. I think that leaving a mess is a massive sin. You can be polite do amazing tree work but leave a mess and if the customers out sweeping and picking chogs out there hedge for weeks after your name shall be forever cursed.

 

I never really take a haggle because I think it implies that you were overcharging in the first place.

However if someone says can you do a job for say less, well of course you can. You have to do less and spend less time or costs. If asked I would usually say yes but we would do the job this way ie you keep the chips the logs we just do the job and you sweep.

 

To be honest we do little domestic work where petty haggling is. Some of commercial clients bid us up as they want us to do well (and usually there just passing on costs plus there cost)

 

What I ment in my comment is if your screwed on price your less inclined to go the extra mile

 

I hope that restores your faith in me
