I am by nature a "haggler"  - whats your best price and all that stuff.

So My Top Ten Haggling Tips

1. Haggling is legal. A price tag constitutes a maximum, not a minimum, price.
2. Shops benefit financially if you pay with cash rather than a credit card, so why shouldn't you share their good fortune?
3. Point out any faults in the goods as an aid to getting money off.
4. If the person serving doesn't have the authority to give you a discount, ask to see someone who does.
5. Shop around.
6. A multiple purchase could increase your chance of getting a discount.
7. It can be easier to haggle over the phone, especially when dealing with banks, hotels and travel agents.
8. Get your timing right. You stand a better chance of getting a discount at a fruit stall at the end of the day than the beginning.
9. Arm yourself with a phrase that is recognised within the industry in question. For example, at an antiques stall ask the proprietor: "What's your best price?"
10. Haggle over items with a high value. It's not worth an electrical dealer's while to haggle over batteries, but the reverse applies to the equipment they power.  

So go out and haggle the price down, don't be shy, you really can save wads of cash especially these days when all the sellers are bleating about how hard it is to get your money out your pockets, if you get good at haggling it will become like a sport.
