I want to get a plasma 46" or 50-52", and try to keep it under $2000. How much can you barter with these guys? I will not buy the service plan or any other bullshit they offer. I just wanna know what reasonable things to ask. Any suggestions? Anyone work there?

Have fun haggling with a low profit margin corporate store.

If you want to barter on price go to a small private retailer.

Bargain = what you’re trying to do.  
Barter = trading goods for goods.

they really dont haggle on the prices there unless you price match it to their satisfaction. we do the 10% price match on local competitors at sears. If you want to haggle goto rosa’s they are like used car salesmen. Most anything to make a deal there

You can haggle with anyone.

Just depends on how much shame you have, how much respect you expect back and how much of a douche you want to appear to come across as.

I have found you cant haggle with the individual sales people but if you can get a manager to help you, most of the time you can get something.

Also you can really push your luck on OPEN BOX buys and sometimes get a really really good price and extended warranty.

More then likely match the price and give you 10 percent of the difference. say its 2500 at place x and place y has it for 2400, $100 difference take 10% of that you would get 10 off the price match youd be 2390
