Go buy a car. Go buy a lot of cars. Go buy a car while pretending to be broke. Go buy another one while thinking you've got a million in cash in the bank. Buy a used car. Buy a new car. (I don't feel bad about consuming car salespeople's time...)
Go to a market in Italy and try to buy anything without haggling. They can negotiate the price of a $10 necklace.
Go to a flea market and find something you want. Try to get a lower price.
- MikeHo 15y agoI was going to suggest going to a car lot and offering a price of -%15 of asking price provided the vehicle is between $30,000 - $50,000. However, an offer although verbal, is legally binding, and should the sales person accept the offer... trouble can arise.
- SHOwnsYou 15y agoThis is completely false. The value of a verbal contract cannot exceed $500. The sales person may try to pressure you into going through with the deal by telling you the contract is binding, but no court in the world would make you pay ~30k for a car just based on you saying you wanted it.
