Bargaining How much is the ivory box? It costs 750. It’s too much, it’s too much. What’s your best price? Well, the best best is 700. 700. Ok, I take it. Ok. Thank you very much. Thank you. Helen: Is bargaining common practice in the UK? And what do people do when they buy things from markets? So what do British people think of haggling 1? Let’s hear from a few of them. Here is Moira. I think it’s very un-British. The British aren’t used to haggling. They find it quite difficult, I think, if they go to countries where haggling is sort of normal. Yes, I do,I do,actually. In a market situation, I would always ask to see if I could get a little bit of extra value for money. But I wouldn’t do that in a supermarket, at Tescos. You know, the bill is the bill isn’t it?! The only thing I would say is, trading in England, is probably that you can’t really push too far. I would say about 10% is about normal really. If you do go a little bit too far, you can upset them, they can get a bit fraught 2 sometimes. Yes, it can be an enjoyable experience, definitely, because it’s an interaction between two people and obviously things like humour comes into it and charm and so on and so forth 3. So yes it can be. Helen: Well, when I try to get the best deal in a market, I always put on a big smile and say lots of nice things to people.And most of the time I’m able to get at least a few pounds taken off the asking price.
