Do you compare prices or bargain before making purchases?

[Lanatsa]

Do you bargain or compare prices of thesame products/services at different shops/places before making purchases or you don't care at all?

My brother, I advise you to care, if not for anything, for your money, or else, you will spend too much more as people are ready to cheat you depending on the location and structure of the business. My usual behaviour is to first check online stores to know the average price of what I want to buy, you might imbibe this idea as well, it helps.

But I made a mistake recently for I was in a hurry, I did not check the price and went pricing, but unfortunately, I met an unfortunate woman who is bent on cheating people. Could you believe that she hiked the price by over 100%? We started bargaining, and in the end, I later discovered that I paid about 95% extra. This could have been averted if I actually knew the price, and if she didn't agree with the actual price I would have moved to the next shop.

One of the most common mistake of consumers is that they arent that too keen on checking out prices and buys out immediately on the time or moment that they've seen something and doesnt mind much
about into its value and continued up to buy on which it is really just that too much waste of money or you have bought something expensive if you could actually buy it for cheap. There are really those sellers or merchants who would really be trying out to take advantage into those innocent consumers who doesnt really check out on the price that much, with that then they would really be able to have that maximum profitability and could be having that sustainable business with this kind of approach. As a consumer or buyer then we should really be that observant as much as we could so that we dont really get abused.

Not all prices pertains about abusive act but also there are actually those goods which is far more cheaper compared into other and there are ones who are really that expensive.
If you are someone whose really that trying out to save up then you will really be just that basically be sticking into those goods which is cheaper and could possibly be able to haggle up
on asking for some discounts specially when buying into marketplaces.

[uneng]

I prefer bargaining before making purchases, especially if paying at once, so it's expected the seller guarantees discounts, since he won't have to wait several months in order to receive the entire payment. You can get several small discounts if you bargain. It doesn't seem to make a considerable difference if you analyze only one purchase, but if you do this in a frequent basis you will conclude to have saved a decent amount of money.

Sellers usually put unreasonable prices on their goods, because they know most people just pay what they are asking for without questioning. But the minority who notices it and appeal to bargain are able to convince the sellers to decrease the prices to more reasonable digits. Both, sellers and buyers, win in this case. So I see only pros in bargaining.

Some sales often make unreasonable prices and they will see the condition of the buyer, usually when a buyer comes who looks like he has a lot of money the price will be raised and I have seen that when buying something.
That's why I prefer to buy something in a shop that already has a price attached to the product so we don't need to ask for a price reduction and before buying we can also check the price on the internet.

Bargaining when buying something is common and it will vary quite a lot in the style of the existing buyer.
That's why it used to be said that the buyer is king because the seller must serve well every time a buyer enters our shop.

Exactly, there are seller who take advantages of this kind of situation knowing that there's no competition and they will just put the price on their favor and without any bargaining they will earn a lot, though there are buyers who knows well and understand the power of bargaining and once they meet from the price that they wanted to have the items both side wins as they call it out and close the deal.

I think It is wrong approach to charge more than your profit is considered fraud because such people are innocent whose innocence is taken advantage of.There are some people who keep their profit and provide things further, but some give more money than that.  Which spoils their quality and reputation as they can be known as a fraud in the market.I also do not believe in doing any work that harms anyone.Working on interest has become very much in today's era.

If the sales offer a price for an item that we think is unreasonable for the item they are offering then it would be better for us to bargain for the item if we really want it but if after making an offer and they don't give it then it would be better for us not to buy the item because what they are selling is unreasonable for us to buy at the price they offer.
When we choose to shop at a store that already has a price tag, then when we make a payment, of course it is in accordance with what is stated on the item and of course this will make it easier for us to make payments without having to bargain. I agree with you, we often see those who bargain when making purchases, those who have limited money and also those who see the price of the item is not in accordance with the general selling price and this often happens in markets where the price is not listed on the goods being sold.

Most of this happen in a country where there is no price regulations and that comes to the incompetency of the government. If the government have a board that set a given price for a general commodity, there is no way even a visitor can be taken advantage of, he or she will have the breakdown of how much each things are been sold but if the government don't put things in order, everything will be open market where anyone can set their prices.

When there is no price regulations, it open door for inflation because when there is seems to be perhaps increase in task or there is a increase in a particular levy that are been collected from a particular sector. People abuse such privileges and increase the price and this most often increase inflations because others will definitely skyrocket their own price so as to adjust to the economy situation and directly weaken currency of the country.

Do you compare prices or bargain before making purchases?

Bargaining can be said to be a tradition that has existed since ancient times and has even become ingrained in the buying and selling process, especially in traditional markets where many transactions occur. However, often all of us, both sellers and buyers, forget one of the most important aspects, namely ethics. Many buyers think about the desire to get the cheapest price possible and sellers sometimes sell at prices that are too high.

So when sellers and buyers ignore ethics, the consequences can be detrimental to both parties and can even trigger disputes, which ultimately damage good relationships and create an unpleasant shopping experience. Therefore, I rarely bargain when making purchases, I prefer to compare prices first from this store with other stores after comparing before making a purchase because I think this method is effective and ethical in making any purchase.

Most of the time if the said amount would really be that unreasonable for its price then usually people do skip out and look for another place on where they could search out for something more cheaper. Its just common sense plus not all people would really be confidently would really be trying out to make those bargaining about the goods that they are really that tending to purchase. There might be some people who could be able to do so but not all would really be having that kind of behavior on doing so but instead they would be looking into other places and sees up if they could be able to see something a good deal. There would really be those times or moments that we arent really that interested on hassling ourselves and thats why we would really be ending up on buying it directly without questions asked when it comes to price or value.
If we do have the money then we would really be buying out immediately and wont really be minding whether its worth the price or not, as long we wont really be hassling ourselves then this is really that thing we are really that minding into. So these things will really be just that basing up into someones behavior and preference since not all would really be having that kind of actions whenever they do cross on expensive items
and as long they do have the money then they do just dont care on having those negotiations.

There are different methods of buying goods and some sellers are so wise sometimes. It also depends on the goods and the location sometimes and also how familiar you are with the goods. For me if I don't know the price of a product and when I want to buy you give me a price that I think does not worth it instead of saying too much I just go away check another places if it's still the same I purchase it
And sometimes you might be in a place where there is only but one shop fear these places they are manufacturers themselves they take advantage because they know you do not have an option.

Sometimes also if I go to get something and the difference is not much from other places I won't stress myself walking much to negotiate price I just buy, some people would even ask you if you are a woman that men don't price goods as if all men are millionaires.

I think they have to started thinking about this thing a lot and they delete the original price and write the new price themselves. If you ask the price of things from a Check out a few more stores and buy from where you find the cheapest. I would prefer this more because it is good. No matter how rich or poor one is, one should not tell the price by looking at it for hours Show the value of the item so that you don't have to buy it from another store and it won't spoil your reputation.

They try to deceive the customer by pretending that there is a discount on some products and then increasing the price and making it look like there is a discount. In some cases, putting new labels on labeled products makes the customer suspicious. People do not earn money easily and we should be careful when spending.

When buying a product, it is necessary to go to several stores or check the price on the internet. Buying a product with a higher price when we have the option of buying it cheaper can put our economy in a difficult situation. We should not rush and do research when buying.

Comparing prices is essential. In today’s economy, it’s a good practice to save money. Whether I bargain or haggle depends on the store and what I’m buying.

I don’t think economic status is a huge on whether someone compares prices or not. Even rich people look for the best deals when conducting business. So why wouldn’t they do the same in their personal lives too?

Rich people always compare the profit margin and they are genius in this aspect. Rich people are rich due to their hard work and smart work . Rich people are rich because of their working on their mindset, rich people always research well to buy the things . Comparison is necessary if you want to buy new item in less price and rich people know how to use poor people. Poor people has short term plans but barganin is important part of any investment anf that investment will help you in the future. Rich people are rich because they learn always and they always read the books. Today is modern time , and every rich person want to remain rich forever and want to be champion.

Yes, it is not lived without it in the life to come.  You needs to do smart work and i think usurious work is not good, it reduces wealth and causes a lot of trouble, you work in someone's shop and collect that money and use it in bad times. The comparison is made in value because there is money in it and nothing in life due to which people give more priority to money and less to life.  Nowadays everyone's aim is to earn money which he depends on earning.

That's why we need to know the price of the goods before buying it so that the seller does not make arbitrary prices as they wish.
Asking for a price reduction every time you want to buy something is nothing wrong because bargaining in spending something is commonplace.
For the matter of bargaining, it is usually better done by women because men are too reluctant to ask buyers to cut the price of an item and the fact is that almost all men do this.

When we choose to shop at a store that already has a price tag, then when we make a payment, of course it is in accordance with what is stated on the item and of course this will make it easier for us to make payments without having to bargain.

There are positive and negative values about this and now supermarkets are available in many places with prices that have been attached.
If the seller gives an unreasonable price for a product, then do not buy it and also do not need to bargain because there are many other stores that also sell the same goods.
Sometimes we as buyers also have to give a little reprimand to sellers who make unhealthy efforts so that they understand that consumers are important and cannot be treated arbitrarily.

Someone who does not have a lot of money will definitely make an offer when they want to buy something, but buyers must also understand that when asking for an appropriate price reduction, so that both buyers and sellers feel benefit.

[beerlover]

If the shop or seller is new to me, I usually bargain hoping to get the best and lowest price. Regardless if it’s been approved or not, I still buy it most especially if the product is very useful for me. However, when it comes to buying from an old shop, or the particular shop where I mostly buy, I don’t apply bargaining at all. Simply because I trust them already and I know their products already. The fact that their products are definitely worth of its cost, I usually do not bargain at all.

Don't you feel a little uncomfortable though? Maybe this is just a me thing, but when someone tells me the price, I either buy the thing if I see the price being ok, or I just don't buy the thing if I find it too expensive. If the price difference is too little between me buying that thing or not buying that thing then I end up with a bit more waiting period where I think if I can pay what the seller said or not, and if I decide to then I buy, if not then I don't.

So when it comes to bargain, I just can't bargain, feel like a bit uncomfortable, like I am doing something shady, I do not feel like doing it at all. I believe its free market and everyone has their right to price anything they want, and if we agreed to it then we will buy, and if we disagree then we don't buy.

Well, it would be uncomfortable if you keep bargaining and yet in the end, you refuse to buy the item. But for me, I only bargain when I think the price is quite high than its usual price, but if the item is worth the price, then I don’t do bargaining then.

A lot of consumers actually do bargaining especially if they are buying a large quantity. But if it means buying a single item that is also worthy of its price, then it’s okay not to ask for a bargain price and just buy it immediately.

If you call it a free market and sellers have the right to set prices, then why do you feel uncomfortable when buyers bargain? It is a free market, meaning everyone has the right to express their opinion and the transaction will be completed if they reach an agreement.

You don't like to bargain, maybe because you're shy or don't want to waste time...it all depends on your personality. Personally I don't like to haggle because I don't like arguing with women, but I don't see anything wrong or unpleasant about people haggling.

By the way, are you married? How would you feel if your wife didn't know how to bargain, didn't know how to save, and was a spendthrift? Bargaining is also a way to save money because not all sellers are honest and sell at the right price. I don't like to bargain but I support my wife in bargaining because it helps us not to spend wastefully.

I think Rich people don't focus on anyone they focus on their goals and making money. One should earn money in life, but one should also look at other situations to see what is going on in life and what is not. This is very bad and wrong because it makes a mockery of poverty.  If they are happy with it, they should know that they too have been through poverty before. If they have not passed their ancestors must have passed, so they make fun of them too.I believe that being rich can buy everything, but if you don't serve humanity, your development is of no use if you are of no use to anyone. I don't consider the gambling part as work but I believe that most of the work is done nowadays. But this work is considered wrong and bad in our society.

Shopping at a supermarket with a predetermined price will of course make it easier for us to choose an item according to the money we have and even occasionally supermarkets have some discounts that might benefit us if we get the discount when we shop.
Yes, it would be better when we see a product that is not reasonable for us to buy at that price, it would be better if we do not bid on the item and we can look for another shop that sells at a price according to the item, maybe only some sellers do not consider consumers important to them and of course this will make it difficult for them to achieve their sales targets.
I agree with you in terms of bidding on an item, of course it must be mutually beneficial and a buyer should not bid on an item at a price that the seller cannot give, of course this is not reasonable.
