Haggler zone'''


Being a committed haggler that I am, by virtue of my


upbringing and belief, I  never buy a product which can be


 bargained for a price lesser  than   one quoted by the retailer


.Well some find it unworthy and few high heeled people wont care 


to get into the complex process ,but i am a  hard core stubborn pro  the whole 


theory,unless it involves going to elite showrooms or malls which state a strict 


no no to the strategy.....


The whole fun to a shopping experience lies in getting a commodity at a price 


cheaper than one quoted by the shopkeeper .The kind of boost it gives always 


gives you a high that u r a smart shopper.Not that i am an exhaustive hard 


liner negotiator but certainly i do imply basic constituents of the business..












First being the behavioural tact....  which entails all the adjectives of disbelief at the 


price,quality and authenticity of product  .Ranging from supercilious sneer 


to ,uncomplimentary resolve to buy the product.And believe me the farce has 


to be strong don't have to go weak at knees,otherwise the beauty of the trick  is spoiled.




Then the actual game theory-----------Common grounds, when you desperately want 


to buy the product and show nonchalance, Na!!! not the one i am looking for ,don't 


you have more etc etc..... and if ,the shopkeeper is keen to sell the product (which usually they are)....


he will want to convince you with the merits . that 'z it !!!He's is your target don't let 


him dodge the ruse!!!






Next the anchor or the first pricing by the shopkeeper always remember that 


it is not the divine call your craft is put to test now,,,,,,


Imply all known strategies with tact -the concession strategy ,counter buy 


stratagem and the finale walk away bait. Try to keep the haggling zone within 


win win  limits.


 Remember do not become an outrageous warrior, u have to evoke the right 


kind of emotions ,be polite yet assertive,deploy a little charm probably flirt in 


good humour,or a little banter to establish a relationship of cordiality.


Keep your bargain range not to contrary keep it within limits one can settle 


for,don't meekly accept the shopkeepers refusal. Be convinced yourself that 


haggling is not impolite,and don't make it one do not ever trounce repeated  


remarks  for gaining concession.


Ask for warranty of the product try finding an authentic fault and portray it 


illustrious in front of the shopkeeper believe me they really cannot beat this tact 


most of the times.
Now when you see the shopkeeper is in a combative mood himself do not 


beat too unnecessarily around the bush.
Just grab the deal and walk away folks...








GUYS REMEMBER SOMETIMES ''
                               U may have asked for the sun  and might get a moon''
                               Enjoy haggling don't give up,keep it up don't give up soon''
                               Don't be shy when you got to buy,
                               Pry ,Pry,Pry so that later  u don't sigh!!!!!


Till then enjoy shopping and refined haggling...:)
