Do you compare prices or bargain before making purchases?

Do you bargain or compare prices of thesame products/services at different shops/places before making purchases or you don't care at all?
What do you think could be the main reason people care or don't care about prices of products/services while making purchases?

To me in as much as money is not easy to get, how it's been spent should be put into better consideration and any price that does not tskky to your demands you opt out but sometimes some people will tend not to bother if the price of a product is way different from the initial price of others and they do so because they think since they got theoney to spend it's surely less to  be feeling concern about pricing a product and comparing and all of that but then being intentional about these things really matter in the long run.

It varies depending on what item, product or service you're about to purchase. Most of the time, people will usually go to stores or even online to buy product due to price difference and we tend to buy whatever's cheaper but you must also consider the convenience and urgency that you need this products that you're about to purchase.
Imagine buying a brand new car that you always wanted but it must be pre-order and will not be available for the next 3 months, but you'll be needing it for your upcoming travel, and there's another shop that offers it with a higher price but it's available right away, surely, if you have the funds, you'll purchase it especially that you need it. The same concept goes to any product and services, which is why people who want to save money pre-order, buy online and join waitlist for better prices.

Price is something that needs to be considered before we buy, with a price that is far from the market price we can think twice about buying the product, because by bargaining for the product which is considered according to the market, we can save money and can buy other items.

I think even though someone has a lot of money, they still pay attention to the price of the goods because no one wants to buy an item at a higher price than usual or not according to its quality.
Bargaining before making a purchase may not be done by many people, especially since it does not apply everywhere, but comparing prices and quality, I think everyone will do it, even though the person has a lot of money.

I always try to find the best deal before I make a purchase. Let’s say I need a laptop from a certain manufacturer… Apple Macbook Air, I find the cheapest deal online but sometimes, just sometimes the more expensive deal makes more sense because there are other side benefits in the deal. Like paying in installments, or collecting bonus points in your credit card or store account. Sometimes these side benefits are so great, You still get a better deal even if you pay more for the actual product.

Sometimes it is even possible to combine different promotions. Following this mindset, I’ve purchased stuff for 50% less many times.

What do you think could be the main reason people care or don't care about prices of products/services while making purchases? You think it's due to economic status, are there other reasons you can think of?

No, I don't see any other reason for a person to bargain or compare prices other than economic hardships or the fact that they can't afford to pay much because of a lack of financial resources. If someone has enough money and is facing no financial problems and still bargain, they are either a miser or it is a habit. However, for most people who either compare prices or bargain, the primary reason behind it is financial problems.

Most times I would not be too bothered about the price of products if I think they're worth it, or if I think that's actual price of the product, whether I can easily afford the price or not.  And I often times price things quite low when I'm not sure about the real price or the true worth/value, hoping to get the sellers bring them lower down to their actual worth.

Yes, if we know something is worth the price being asked, there should be no reason for us to bargain even if the price is high because that is the actual worth of the product, but if someone is asking way more than its worth, we should look elsewhere for the same product with a price that its worth. Personally, I'm not very good at bargaining, so I always try to go to places where I know things are sold at their actual price.

[el kaka22]

There aren't that many websites to make comparisons to be fair, usually Amazon offers the cheapest products so I usually go with that one. Lately we have been trying to sell our house, so I am not the one who is doing the bargaining but the buyers are, and they are calling me everyday asking me if this would do or that would do, and I usually just reject all of them.

If anyone is a bit close then I will continue to talk, but most of them ask me 20% or even bigger drops, which makes no sense because why would I sell for that cheap? I understand they can't afford to buy houses these days because houses are very expensive, but we need to be good at what we do, in order to get better results, I can't sell for cheap. I am in no rush neither, I already moved to my new house, it's still not fully decorated, but all the important stuff are in, and I can wait a year if I want to, I have no rush.

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

Absolutely! I love finding good deals when I shop.  I'm a bit of a bargain hunter, I like comparing prices both online and in actual stores to get the best value.  When buying more expensive stuff, I'll check out multiple retailers or websites first and  gotta stretch my budget to the max. I'm a total fan of those price comparison sites even though some only show stores that have paid to be listed.  It would be nice to see the whole playing field.  But still, scoping out the lowest price for something I want is pretty satisfying.  At the end of the day, I just enjoy feeling like I scored a solid deal and I think it was time well spent.

[GxSTxV]

Well, I’m with you in this matter. For me, I really value my time more than money for most of the time, and I’m not a wealthy person, but I would rather spend a little extra on something that saves me time or gives me quality than spending much time searching for the cheapest ofer. However, if something seems overpriced or the quality doesn't match the prive, I definitely compare or bargain for that, especially when it feels like a waste of money.
I think peoples approach to pricing much to do with what they value, either a product or food. Some people care about saving any small amount because of their situation, while others might prioritize quality or convenience also for their situation. For me, I’m ready to pay more if it means getting better quality or saving time, but I don’t like to feel scammed off, so I compare prices if something seems too expensive.

I agree that sellers sometimes raise prices if they think their product is good unique or if they assume the buyer can pay more. In those cases, I either negotiate or just walk away and find a better deal. I have found that sellers mostly rearrange prices if they see you are not in a rush or know the product’s true value.

Overall, it’s not just about economics status. Some people just care more about time needs or getting a quality product while others might enjoy the journey of finding the best deal. It really depends on what matters for each individual.

There are people that don't know how to bargain or start arguing on price with sellers, they just don't know how to do it and it's something natural about them not that they are forming big or rich but there are those that can spend the whole time searching and comparing prices to come up with where to eventually buy the item they need. In fact they apply the comprehensive rational model to every item they wanna buy in the market.  for me this set of persons are just going too extreme about bargain or beating price for an item before purchasing.

Yes, it all comes back to each person's personality, but I don't think it's a problem.
Personally, I am reluctant to bargain in the market, I tend to compare and see the suitability of price with quality so I think it's more effective.
Regardless of whether people are rich or not, I don't think anyone wants to spend their money to buy something that doesn't match the value.

When a product has an abnormal price, no one buys that product. But the buyer must have a good knowledge of the product. If necessary, he can visit different places and buy these quality products. But if someone bargains in the purchase of goods then it is not a big problem. Buyers don't seem to get the chance to bargain everywhere. I usually buy where there is an opportunity to bargain and don't do it where there is no such opportunity. But for any product purchase I choose to check the market so that I can choose a good product with the money there. In some cases there is no scope for bargaining.

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

Sometimes I don’t care what the price of what I want to buy is; I only compare how the price of that thing was before this inflation and other things that affect the price of every single thing in the market today. I compare the price of things based on how they have been sold before; if I see that I can purchase it at that price, I will do that, and if it’s too much or beyond my budget, I will bargain and then purchase what I want to purchase. However, some people compare prices of a thing based on the quality of the product and how effective it will be for them; that method is also a nice one. 

What do you think could be the main reason people care or don't care about prices of products/services while making purchases? You think it's due to economic status, are there other reasons you can think of?

There are many reasons why people make a decision before making a purchase. It could be due to their economic status and how effective such a product will be for them. Some people don’t care how much they are selling a product at the market; their main aim is to be certified with the product.

Well, I might also be one of those people who are lazy to argue to bargain prices in the market, if I try an offer once and the seller only lowers a little from the initial price then I won't think twice about buying. Because I once tried to compare prices from one shop to another and in the end I still went back to the first shop I went to, honestly it made me tired and it took a lot of time. Maybe this will come back to each individual. And also I think when we enter a shop or a well-known brand we also don't make an offer right? whatever price they offer we will definitely buy. Well, price offers usually only occur in traditional markets, so after realizing that I became hesitant to bargain, especially at a very significant price.

Yeah if there's opportunity to try then deal with it if you got lucky and manage to cut even a small portion with the price then it will be decent, if not then it's your choice if you want to push and take it, like both of your comments said, depends from individual perspectives and if you see that you really in need and you are okay with the price then go and purchase, it paid the effort though.

The majority of the answer is that people do not want to bargain and there are many reasons why they do so. But I'm sure the reason is because most of us here are men and haggling while shopping makes us feel embarrassed or afraid of being judged as stingy. I think that's the main reason we don't like bargaining, not because it's a waste of time as many people mention. I believe that no one is rich and generous enough to buy things without looking at the price or comparing prices, people always calculate and always want benefits for themselves because that is human nature.

I guess we probably won't bargain in the market but if we shop online, people will definitely spend a lot of time searching for stores that have better prices to buy from, more deals.

Since pages, that gather information from different shops, appeared, I have started to always compare prices before making a purchase. This especially refers to buying electronics. Because why not? All in all those shops get products from the same place/warehouse. So I see no reason to pay extra 20-50 EUR for the same item. Warranty works the same, and official service centers do repairs, not shops themselves. Moreover, I often watch review to get best price/performance item. Whenever I buy food, I dont get them from the market so there is no chance to bargain, but I know which retail chain shops offer more expensive, more affordable or cheap food. So yes, I also compare prices. But when it comes about clothes, I usually get what fits me better and I like most. In that case, I get what I like, whenever its is cheap or not (I dont buy luxury fashion branded clothes (Gucci, Valentino, Balenciaga and etc), but I usually like most popular brands and can afford them)

Maybe we feel embarrassed to do it, because people's nature is very different in bargaining for the price of the goods they buy, this is a natural thing to happen in the world of buyers for many reasons.

In other words, there is a price, there is definitely quality if it is directed at a product or an item. Because at this time price offers only occur on the stock market, crypto market and also traditional markets, while if you shop at a certain marketplace, it is clear that you cannot make any offers because the price is clearly stated on each item. This means that you are also not wrong when you make a comparison of quality with the price level of an item through any market because you can also do something like that in any marketplace.

[mirakal]

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.
