Do you compare prices or bargain before making purchases?

[Adbitco]

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.

Well it's very important to still price due to trust issues, sometimes these people often cut people neck because they had already gain trust from old customers and I do compare prices from different shops before coming back direct to the old shops to make purchase of the items I want to, when you so much rely on old shops due to the trust you had on them they might easily compromise.

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? You think it's due to economic status, are there other reasons you can think of?
 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. Some sellers tend to move things up too high if they think they are uncommon and attractive, or the buyers are rich. Once I suspect this kind of sellers I either bargain hard, tell them I'm not too rich or check somewhere else where I will try to appear not-too-rich or pretend to be already familiar with the products

We hardly like to waste time on a good job which is why we don't care when buying a product that the price of that product should be checked elsewhere. We buy a product very quickly which is why many merchants take advantage of it and syndicate it. But when I buy a product from a physical store, I check the price of that product on e-commerce platforms and always try to buy from there at a lower price than the e-commerce platform, but I don't check the price at any other physical store because it is  Wastes a lot of time.  I think saving your precious time is more important than money. Because it is possible to do something good in life only if you don't know how to pay the price of time. Again I also believe that wasting extra money will never do anything good in life. Because of which learning money management is very important

Im also having that kind of behavior on which if ever i do really want to buy something then i would really be trying out to search it off online whether it would really be that more cheaper specially in talking about digital goods on which im really that liking on trying out to compare prices. On the moment if we do speak about trying out to buy like goods or groceries then i dont really waste up my time on transferring into other supermarkets on trying out to save up a few cents. It is really just that a waste of time on which i do have more something that it is really that important to be done.rather than on trying out to waste your time on saving up a few.
Its not really that bad to save up since we do know that not all would really be having that money that they can buy goods but of course there would really be those times or moments that you would be needing up to sae up specially if youre budget is already that depleted then you will really be having that kind of consideration on taking up such action for you to have at least that kind of savings and could prolong out even more.

I compare a lot. One of my closest friends is pretty wealthy in the $50m plus area.

quite a bit wealthier than me. He comparison shops at local supermarket . I met him in 1996

we go food shopping once or twice a week looking to save money.

I figure if he still does it at 78 years old I can do it at 67.

Honestly, I often consider looking at the price first before buying the for a product and we do this so that we are not lied to by the seller because some sellers offer products above the average price.

In addition to considering economic factors, we also often consider not being lied to when we want to buy something, unless when buying a product there is already a price attached to the item.
I also see that the style of male and female buyers is usually different, where if men buy something they tend to ask for a comparable price cut compared to women because they usually ask for a price that is not relevant to the real price of the product

[reagansimms]

Even the rich will compare or bargain prices to get a lower price before making a purchase. Bargaining in the buying and selling process is common, sellers always want their goods to be sold at a high price, while buyers will try to bargain for the price to get goods at a cheaper price. Sellers usually try to take advantage of the situation depending on the buyer's innocence, so buyers should be more careful with their money. Bargaining is very reasonable and buyers have the right to do so. I very often walk around the shopping center area first to do a little research before deciding to buy something at a particular store.

Indeed we consider to look for bargain price to possibly save some money. But can't deny the fact that I'm more looking at my minds and sometimes didn't care about the price since what I think at the moment is to get those things that I want. Guilt times always comes at end when payment time came especially when you look at the price of goods you bought is so high. This is why sometimes I don't go shopping on my own and ask my wife to come then take the lead towards budgeting since we can't deny the fact that women is really good at that actions since they always look forward to save more and meticulous on the prices.

Yes, even rich people bargain when buying and I have even heard that many rich people bargain and calculate than poor people. But surprisingly, there are many comments that show that most of us don't like to bargain, which makes me think that most of us here are not only rich but extremely rich .

Only when shopping at large shopping malls or supermarkets with listed prices does bargaining seem impossible, but if we shop at free markets, bargaining is extremely necessary if we don't want to waste money. Honestly, I don't see anything shameful in bargaining with the seller, it's so normal.

Most of the time, when you buy things from a regular shop that you usually bought items you trust them already with th price though sometimes I personally ask if there's some adjustment or some discount that can be provided if there's then I thank the person if there's none then I continue to buy as I know that the quality is fair enough for my  money, just like you said, it was the trust that you already established that matters when buying an items.

I would say that I bargain or compare products/ services depending on my budget for the day and the place/shop that i enter.
Shop A will not be the same as shop B based on the look and facilities they have installed which will also give rise to the price of products.

Sometimes I wouldn't bargain if I know that the product is genuine and is same at all purchasing venue.

As for me, comparing has a lot of advantages in which I can save from it, try to get the best product and avoid making excessive payment for a product that is cheaper somewhere.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

In the US, there's not much room for bargaining when it comes to buying day-to-day items, and I think that isn't the case in some countries where everything is haggled for.  That's a damn good thing in my case, as I'm not the kind of person who's a hard negotiator.

Aside from my extraordinarily weak bargaining skills, I don't do any price comparisons when shopping--in my area there aren't too many places to buy the things I usually get, plus I rarely buy high-value things such as automobiles, which is what I tend to think of when trying to get someone to lower their asking price.  Lately I've just been using Amazon to buy a lot of crap since they usually have the lowest price on pretty much everything.  On top of that, I don't even have to leave my filthy little hovel and can remain stuck in my hermitude in perpetuity.  Lol, but not really lol.

Im also like this on which i dont really have that bargaining skills on which im really that ashamed when it comes into this manner on which we know that they are selling for profits and something that they would be spending up some expenses when it comes to capital or even on renting out into the location on where they are selling. Therefore, it would really be that understandable that they will really be trying out to charge more
and this is really that on how business works. There are really just that those individuals who are really that skeptical on some value of goods specially if they do know on how it do really cost in other places then you will really be finding it to be expensive but if you are really that someone whose really that not able to see other places or lack of locations on where you could buy up these goods then you wont be minding about bargaining stuffs.

It is really that understandable that there would really be those individuals who would really be that liking or wanting to make out some bargains to save up. Who doesnt really like not to save up when it comes to this manner? If you are really that rich then this is something that you wont really be get bothered but on the moment that you will really be on such situation on which you do have that sufficient or just simply in budget
then you will really be having the courage on trying out to ask for some discounts if possible but of course it will really be basing up on what place on where you are really that trying out to buy.

[YUriy1991]

Usually when we are going to shop we will prioritize the items we are going to buy by looking at several price references and of course good items will not be deceiving because there are some items that are indeed maintained by the item with special specifications that may not be the same as items in its class.

Bargaining is definitely born when buying but if you buy it at a store that already has a big name then the price we have to pay will be the same as that written in their catalog. So before buying it is reasonable or not to have to check the price first before making the payment process. For buyers of course come with various styles and appearances but in my opinion such a gap is only visual. The important thing is that their service is good then buyers will be happy to buy it.

I personally sometimes like to bargain for items or food that I want to buy, but this is actually quite tiring. Because where I live, sometimes when I bid on merchandise, the results are not much different from the first price offered to me. So after that, I personally don't like haggling anymore when buying goods or food. Because I think it's just a waste of time. So my personal principle at the moment is, if for example I am going to buy something in a shop and the price doesn't suit me, then I would rather not buy at that shop and look for another shop where the price is more suitable. with my wishes. However, everyone definitely has different habits regarding this matter, perhaps for thrifty people, bargaining when buying something is something they do very often and is an obligation for them.

Then regarding the reasons why someone likes to haggle over prices with sellers when buying their merchandise, perhaps the most common reason is saving money. However, there are also a handful of people who do this because they think it is fun. Apart from that, in the country where I live, bargaining with sellers has actually become a very embedded culture. Therefore, the reasons why people haggle over prices with sellers are due to various things, whether because it has become a culture, or because of economic conditions. However, in essence, this (bargaining) is a normal thing. Because most people definitely want to buy something in large quantities/good/quality, but at a cheap price. The point is that bargaining when buying something can be said to be a very human thing.

Buyers' behavior varies greatly, sometimes they bid an item for an unreasonable price. That is, they try to get the goods they like at a cheaper price, even below the normal price. These kinds of buyers don't usually shop at malls or expensive places, they tend to prefer shopping at public markets where prices can still be negotiated.

Basically the tips for shopping are very simple. If you want it done quickly, then don't waste your time haggling or asking for discounts. Products with better quality definitely cost more, while products with lower quality are usually cheaper.

In reality, things are meant to be priced based on one budget and the worth of the goods. Each product made has a price tag that is supposed to be their selling price. If the seller is selling the given product above the expectations of the buyer on what they bargained for, the seller should expect the buyer to price the given product at a low price because that's what they visualize the given product to be worth and that's what they can give in for the product.

However, the prices of products differ from one location to another. A product sold in a particular location can differ in price(higher or lower) in other locations. But it doesn't stop people from pricing the product they want to buy, to know whether they can willingly pay for it without it affecting their daily or weekly budgets

Where I live, the cost of living is on the high side. The price you find a product to be this week, you can find it to be at a high price tomorrow. All the price increases are caused by the government. You don't expect a seller who pays heavily for the transportation of their products to their shops or supermarkets to sell their products at a minimum price, instead of, a high price

It was the worth of the goods, is the ones that is correct or where things are priced at. We can't erase that fact anymore no matter how much money we have. If the price of the goods is still within our budget, then we are able to afford it and buy it if we really needed it but if not then not, as there might still be things where money should be spent more importantly.

It was the seller is the ones who can dictate a price of a product because they owned it at the first place but of course, sellers must not be abusive but price only the product fairly or based on its use case. Like for example if it's useful, then they can sell it at a much higher value.

There are also rarity, location where products are created (like you said there) and stuffs, that can be responsible in the tag. There are kind or generous sellers that are able to negotiate, especially if their clients ask it.

I see that the price of the good where you live is on the expensive side but I think the wage rates there are also decent, so that should still normalize things. We can as well buy the product early because if not, it will be expensive later on. Saving is a good strategy here, so that we will have something to use once we have an interest for some new things.

What if the price of one item is very different from the actual price, don't you also consider it?
Often find the price of goods in store A with store B is different even though the products they sell are the same.
That's why I prefer to check the price first before buying and I think it's not because we are stingy but so as not to be fooled.
Women are much smarter at shopping and I see for myself how they bargain so that the item is much cheaper and the advantage of them is that they can save on purchases only for necessities even though not all women have that ability.

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?

I don't really understand why some people always compare prices before buying but also vice versa, it could be the nature of the person that influences it, for example, a wasteful person doesn't really care about the price as long as he wants to buy it, he will buy it, but a frugal person will try to get the best price for the same item.
I sometimes don't look for price comparisons so for some occasions I try to compare prices before buying because of limited funds or when I don't look for comparisons because it's very urgent and there's no time for it.

Some sellers tend to move things up too high if they think they are uncommon and attractive, or the buyers are rich. Once I suspect this kind of sellers I either bargain hard, tell them I'm not too rich or check somewhere else where I will try to appear not-too-rich or pretend to be already familiar with the products

Because of the competition in market, I do make some comparison before making purchase so that I will know the price range of the goods I am purchasing to avoid been scammed.
Must business owners are not being honest, especially during this harsh economy, they will always want to add much gain and complain to their customers that it is how they purchased the goods especially imported goods, that is why I want to make price enquiries of the same product from different places and the respective qualities of the good before making decision to buy the goods.

Bargaining is definitely born when buying but if you buy it at a store that already has a big name then the price we have to pay will be the same as that written in their catalog. So before buying it is reasonable or not to have to check the price first before making the payment process. For buyers of course come with various styles and appearances but in my opinion such a gap is only visual. The important thing is that their service is good then buyers will be happy to buy it.

For some big stores that has brand already, they mostly have fixed prices, therefore, there is no point in bargaining because that's the company's price; and such shops or stores are somehow considerate because some retailers also buy from them which means their price will be reasonable.

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.
