Bargaining is usually allowed in most of the stores in China. Sometimes,bargaining is more enjoyable than the purchase itself.Below are some suggestions for bargaining:
Firstly,when you prepare to buy a certain article,you'd better ask the price in several different shops to get a general idea about the price.Then you can start to bargain.
Relax your tongue and keep some tips in your mind:
- Offer half of the asking price and work from there
- Try to find some flaws on the article as a excuse of depreciation
- Be stubborn and persistent when bargaining,but keep smiling
- Walk away if you find the price unacceptable
- If the salesperson detain you, it indicates either he accept your counter offer or he has already been oscillatory.
- A calculator may help you to overcome the language barrier。
Once the salesperson accept your price, do not try to beat down again since it appear to be discreditable.
It is really enjoyable to buy at a price you are satisfied with, but make sure that the article you take is the one you want since there are also some stingy salesperson would replace the fine products with shoddy ones. |
