DrNemo Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 We aren't particular hagglers in the UK with the exception of cars and possibly houses. I get the impression that haggling is more widespread in Aus. I'm landing in a couple of weeks and will need to sort myself out with various white goods/sofa etc and was wondering what the deal was with haggling and if so is there anything specific to aim for? I will be heading to Hobart which doesn't have as wide a range of shops so I guess I may be more limited. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rallyman Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 If you can't haggle ,just be polite and ask is that the best price you can do if you get $20 bucks off its better than nothing ,you will be surprised , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lozzachino Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Definitely worth trying. Harvey norman and good guys have always knocked money off when asked if thats their best price. Good guys even have a figure they can sell each item at which is below the ticket item. So if you ask, you get that cheaper price, dont ask and you will pay the ticket price.
