No, I've never actually tried this. Wait, I take that back! In a furniture store, I was goofing around (I get in these funny moods sometimes, almost like that guy in Walmart  ) and we were about to buy a couple of recliners. I said "take three bucks off, and you got a deal!" He did it! I saved $6 by negotiating!  ('Course, I wonder how much lower I could have gone if I wasn't just goofing around!  ) |
I think this works better with large ticket items because the salesman may be getting a commission!
