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.
Don't you feel a little uncomfortable though? Maybe this is just a me thing, but when someone tells me the price, I either buy the thing if I see the price being ok, or I just don't buy the thing if I find it too expensive. If the price difference is too little between me buying that thing or not buying that thing then I end up with a bit more waiting period where I think if I can pay what the seller said or not, and if I decide to then I buy, if not then I don't.
So when it comes to bargain, I just can't bargain, feel like a bit uncomfortable, like I am doing something shady, I do not feel like doing it at all. I believe its free market and everyone has their right to price anything they want, and if we agreed to it then we will buy, and if we disagree then we don't buy.
Well, it would be uncomfortable if you keep bargaining and yet in the end, you refuse to buy the item. But for me, I only bargain when I think the price is quite high than its usual price, but if the item is worth the price, then I don’t do bargaining then.
A lot of consumers actually do bargaining especially if they are buying a large quantity. But if it means buying a single item that is also worthy of its price, then it’s okay not to ask for a bargain price and just buy it immediately.
