tips for negotiating better prices
First of all, have an idea of what you think you should be spending on the item before you even start. Evaluate the item a bit. Consider similar items you’ve seen recently and what their prices were. If you need to, do a bit of research on your own using a cell phone or another nearby stand. This isn’t always an exact science because many items involve what value you think the maker has added to the item.
