You think you’re a tough negotiator, but the salesman will make you agree that something is the right product, fight you on price for 20 to 25 minutes, then give you a bone. You go home thinking you got the best of him, but as long as you have his product in your trunk, he could give a shit if he sold it for a discount off of list price. x3 ---

its no mystery that all employees at retail stores get discounts, they i think get 5% over cost. I get a meazly 10% off the retail which only equals tax and a little more. But price matching seems to get people who are almost to the point of buying something to go ahead and get what they want. Its all about the presentation which sometimes is the most difficult part. If i can save you X amount of $$ its seems to them like they really are getting the best deal. But with selling its more or less luck , why some people wont get approched right away, if you jump on them like vultures they tend to want to leave. I usually watch body language see if they have any real interest and it seems to work about 80% of the time. And yes a well educated consumer is my enemy they make me work a hell of alot harder.
