BARGAIN

	BARGAIN

	1. List four tips to win the price you are interested.
	A: In order to get the best price while bargaining, I shall wear sunglasses to conceal my feeling and insist my option. If the vendor can’t give me a lower price, I will go away. I think the vendor will run after me and perhaps he will lower his price. Otherwise I shall show the vendor how much money I can pay and tell him that I can’t afford more than that. I shall respect and be polite to the vendor and have fun in the bargaining.

	A: To win the price you want, you need to do these things like below: a. You should go to different stores to know the reasonable price of the product that you want to buy. b. You have to keep your position. That is you have to be firm and determine your price. c. You can wear the sunglasses and do not let the vendor watch your eyes because your eyes will show your thoughts and feelings. d. After several bargaining, if the price is still unacceptable to you, you can walk away. If the salesman calls or stops you, it means you will have a chance to get the lower price. If the salesman does not stop you, you have to go away from the store and don’t return because he is firm with his offerand he will not listen to you.

	A: The first tip is to find out the worth of the item you want to buy. The second tip is never accepting the first offer. Third is to treat the vendor with respect. Forth is to be prepared to walk away if you don’t get a fair price. Now let me explain this to you. If you don’t find out the worth of the item you want to buy, you surely don’t know if the price the vendor offers is a fair price. Second, normally a vendor will not expect you to accept the first offer and usually the first offer is not a fair one. Third, while you are bargaining, you are not arguing with the vendor. If the vendor does not offer you a fair price, you just don’t need to be angry, but just think this is a game and take it easy. Finally, if you are not given a fair price, you can pretend to walk away. Usually, the vendor will call you back and give the better price which you are satisfied with.

	A: Please do the followings before bargaining: a. Do some research about the price of the product. We need to know the price first, and then bargain. b. Must be polite, and have a firm position.

Wearing sunglasses. Don’t let the keeper think that you are afraid of bargaining. Keep confident.

	A: If you want to get the price you want, these things help: a. Don’t say “yes” immediately when the vendor tells you the first price. b.

	2. What are people's different attitudes towards bargain?
	A: Some people don’t want to become bargain hunters, because they think offering low prices may make sellers think their customers are poor or stingy. Besides, many people think it is shameful to bargain. (They are ashamed to bargain.) But others enjoy bargaining because they may have the achievement of saving money. They can use the money that would be wasted to do more things. To buy products by the lowest price is their top priority.

	A: Not all of the people like to bargain with the boss, because some of them will consider it to be a shame. Arguing just for maybe fifty dollars or one hundred, they think it’s not necessary. But to the people who like bargaining everywhere and anytime, “bargain” is just like a fun. They can’t help bargaining. And even in some places, “bargain” becomes a custom. If you don’t bargain with the vendor, maybe others will take you like a stranger!!

	A:Most people like bargaining so as to enjoy life, because they can buy many things at the lowest price. But some people never bargain when they buy things because they don’t want to make the vendor feel uncomfortable by offering cheap prices. Sometimes they don’t want to be assertive (強人所難) although some of them want to give an expression that they can afford anything.

	A: In contrast, we can find people in two situations about bargain: one is that some people do like to bargain, and another is that people refuse to bargain. People who like to bargain are those who think that bargain is the best way to save their money. That is, use less money to get the best of what they want. However, some people refuse to do this because they think they cannot afford it. So they simply give up. Some people even think that bargaining is shameful. It seems to tell everyone that he or she is poor or he or she is taking advantages of the seller.

However, others think the vendors must bet angry so they dare not to bargain.
