At Paris’ famous Marche aux Puces, it’s known as “marchandage.” In Mexico’s open-air weekend markets, it’s called “regatear.” Here in the U.S., we know it as “haggling.” And while it’s the norm when buying a car or a home, most American prices on most items are non-negotiable.
Think again. In this tough economy, there has never been a better time to haggle in any retail setting.
“You can negotiate anything, anywhere these days,” says Allan Stark, president of Negotiate4U, a Web-based company that negotiates discounts on everything from cars to cellphones. “You can haggle for lower prices from flea markets all the way up to Bergdorf Goodman.”
