How to talk the price down

.
Price tags aren’t set in stone. It takes a little courage, but you can bring down the price of secondhand clothes just by haggling a little with the salesperson. They’re more flexible than you’d expect. You may need to get over any fears of seeming pushy or cheap, buy once you get going, you’ll save money left and right. Here are a few tips to remember:

* Ask for a discount if there’s a flaw, like a stain or tear on the garment, no matter how small. If the product is even slightly defective, you deserve a reduction in price. Salesperson wants you to leave happy and come again, so they’ll usually give you the discount if you ask.

* Use your buying power. Request a bulk rate if you buy a lot of pieces at once, or if you buy something expensive, ask them to throw in a free gift. Say you might consider purchasing this really nice gown if they add the handbag to the package. You could walk away with a bunch of free stuff.

* Be friendly with the salesperson. You’ll be relieved to find out bargaining doesn’t have to involve yelling and angry comments. Develop a good working relationship with the people at the secondhand store so they realize you’re not trying to be difficult – you’re just trying to get a good deal.



All the best,
