so i went to best buy and i decided to buy a laptop. so i went there looking for their display models hoping to cut a deal.
so this is what i paid. i dunno if i got a good deal or not
i got
intel pentium centrino 1.70 ghz 100 gb hd, dvd burner cd burner i forget how many megs of ram. had some special in video card in it and something else that i couldnt have given a rats ass abt.
and i paid with taxes 800
good deal?
i think so. however i came out feeling a little disappointed with my negotiations. i think i could have gotten these guys to go lower. not only that i wanted the in carrying case which they wouldnt throw in unless i bought the extended warranty which i told them off with. they also promised to throw in all these software if i bought the warranty. anyways i got the software regardless. but i wanted that carrying case and i know i could have gotten them down to 700 bucks.
my 2 biggest mistakes
#1 i told them my budget: which however in reality was alot higher then what i told them, but sucked me dry for every penny i said was within that budget
#2 i went in their to negotiate with a massive in zit on my nose. i cant even take my self seriously in the mirror with this huge fukin clown nose i have right now. i havent gotten a zit like this since i waslike in 17.
so what negotiating tricks do u have? lets share them.
and then tell me what i can do abt this zit should i pop it? |

chinese people can bargain like they are competing for a ing medal.

| Don't start with a price point. Ignore the price tag when you negotiate or else you anchor yourself. |

That's too easy. Just ask them in double negatives:
"Wouldn't you NOT sell it lower?" :p
A real man doesn't negotiate. It hurts our pride. Grow some balls and blow some money, VB.
LOL just show my flag to the next store you go to and it's the equivalent of 10 hours of negotiation LOL :haha: |
