Advice on haggling in an antiques store

Nessa

I've fallen in love with a cupboard but its way more than I want to spend, has anyone got any tips on how to successfully get them to reduce the price?

Apologies if I've posted this on the wrong forum

be friendly, chatty and admire the piece saying its out your price range, decide what you would ideally feel comfortable paying and make an offer slightly below, -for cash only! make sure you tell them cash makes a difference the dealer will probably say too low and then try to come to a compromise near you safe price. usually find either first thing in the morning or last thing at night when the weather is miserable works best, got a beautiful console table £599 down to£399 in sale but said loved it but just too expensive at moment what could they do for cash, got another £100 off!! so you just never know how low they will go
