canon 550d haggling

djcomps

Dear moneysavers!!!

Situation: I want to buy a Canon 550d with it's kit lens.

Dixon's are selling it for £694.98 but online they've got a discount code that will reduce this to £674.13. Since Dixon's have already budged on the price what haggling tricks should I now be employing.
I'm happy , and would have to anyway, buy a uv lens, a 4gb memory card (or 2 of these) and a bag. should i ask for these as heavily discounted (virtually free) extras?
how mush discount will purchasing a warranty (which i would later cancel) afford me?
What day is best to head to the store?
should i email companies and play them off against each other?

Many many thanks.


ps. i know that canon are also offering £50 return on this which would already reduce the price to £624.13

Well considering Dixons are web only now I very much doubt you'll have anyone to haggle with.

I'm assuming you got the price from here: http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/

I didn't know that it no longer had shops. Must have missed that when I was living abroad. Thanks for the heads up. Yes, did see it on that website.

Dixons do have duty free shops at airports if you are going anywhere if you are going anywhere soon.

It might have been Dixons once but its probably a Currys Digital now?

Certainly no Dixons listed here: http://www.manchesterarndale.com/centre_info.htm

I bought an mp3 player from there last year- my bf didn't believe me either until I dragged him there, it might be a warehouse store though. Its upstairs in the new bit next to New look, kind of above sportsdirect or whatever its called these days. Next time I go I shall take a pic of it for you. Unless it has changed to a currys digital but I'm pretty sure it hasn't
