"The last piece from the exhibition" - is there a discount?

Hello.

I wanted to ask what it's like to buy, for example, a microwave and it turns out that it is the last copy from the exhibition (opened, pressed, turned on dozens of times, etc.).
Is there a discount in this case? How is that how big? Is it legally defined or is it just the good will of the seller that instead of PLN 399, he will sell us PLN 10 cheaper (i.e. less than 3% of the price of the equipment before the discount)?

You can haggle, but I can't... in Euro RTV there was a "short ball" - "I can't give a discount on such goods, and if you want factory-packed, please come tomorrow, you'll get the original package" (it was about the DVD player ).

And I had a very nice case in Euro RTV. I bought an MP3-three which cost PLN 139. Due to the fact that it was the last one in the store, the seller lowered the price by PLN 50!!! But wanting to be grateful, I bought headphones for the above-mentioned MP3-troika for the PLN 50 discount. I got the headphones for free.
If the seller doesn't want to lower the price, unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about it. But you can try otherwise, e.g. you buy this microwave at the original price and you get along with the seller that he adds something for free to the oven.
The seller probably adheres to the principle: Let's love each other like brothers, let's value each other like Jews.
Regards

I know, I know, old topic...
I once bought a ceramic kitchen hob to be built into the cabinet. Also on EuroRTV. Final. Without original packaging. The price is around PLN 1,000.
At the notice about the lack of packaging, I got a PLN 100 discount and a set of liquids to clean it. I wasn't haggling at all.
All prices in stores are contract prices and the seller may lower them. Of course, if the owner of the store allows him. Usually, such powers are held by the department manager in large stores. Encouraged by a friend who is addicted to haggling, I tried it a few times with good results. And it is a product without defects in the form of even torn packaging.
BARGAIN!!!

Exactly the same I bought a DVD in a store not for idiots. I always bargain if it is goods in broken packaging (opened) or from the exhibition. Of course, I watch it carefully beforehand. Recently, I purchased a piece of furniture from the exhibition for the dining room for which I got a 25% discount. There was only one small scratch that I immediately stained so that there is no trace ...
In general, you can always haggle, but it is not always appropriate

You can bargain a lot on furniture too. Very nice piece of furniture, but with damage (cracks at one of the locks. Not visible at first glance) bought for half the price.

equipment of this type often lands on allegro, etc. under the name "exhibition" and the price is much lower

This is so that the discount is not due ex officio. Goods with a price constitute an offer, but it does not matter if we receive another offer for this product. You can always haggle. Especially if the equipment is somehow defective. As it is full-fledged but lacks something in relation to the packed, it is also worth trying.
Only that it should be remembered that it is the person who decides and it is usually not the sales manager. One allows you to give discounts and the other does not. Sometimes you can get a discount from her on one shift. There is no rule for this, but the guy who sells is not always to blame.
It's always worth trying. Even if you break off on a 4-pack, such a 4-pack then somehow tastes better .

About two years ago, when I was in one of these big electronics / household appliances stores with the intention of buying a laptop, I watched all those turned on with running systems where you can look and touch first. One caught my eye, so I say I want it. The guy who was there said that they don't have it at the moment and he won't give it to me (?). I don't even remember what he was explaining for this trouble, when I finally chose another one, they gave me some discount on the principle that I could take headphones (any kind), speakers and a laptop bag, and I paid for it as much as for the laptop itself.
An interesting situation, pleasantly surprising, but can the seller legally refuse to sell? There's something on my mind that I can't.

It cannot, as the goods were listed with the price, it was an offer that you accepted and the contract was concluded. Which they didn't want to fulfill, so you got a consolation discount on another one.

When buying a SAMSUNG RF710 laptop from the exhibition - the last copy, there was no discount. The seller stated that they were in the manufacturer's promotion (in fact, the price was entered twice, with the higher one crossed out), they sold out instantly and the next delivery will be at a higher price.
How do you know what is true and what is a marketing ploy?

when you go for a specific piece of equipment, check how much such or similar equipment costs somewhere else, then you won't be crossed out because you will know that the discount is from very expensive to expensive ... And in the store next door the same cheaper without a rag. It often happens that shop x has a little more in stock and shop Y is already clearing the warehouses of a given model or has a new cheaper delivery.

You can bargain, you just need to know when.
There are many countries where the approach of the seller to the buyer is quite the opposite. When you buy, you have to bargain, otherwise you will be a bad customer.

I personally bargain. When I go to buy, for example, trousers and two or sometimes three pairs, I ask if I can buy something cheaper and I usually get 10-15% cheaper. I had a CO installation done. And also from the starting price, I got about 10% discount. I also bargain for the purchase of fuel.

You should not practice it at every step, e.g. when buying a ticket, beer (unless expired), etc.

If I'm buying an electric guitar for two grand, there's no way I'm not haggling. After all, when buying one of my guitars, I didn't have to haggle at all. The seller reduced me PLN 80 for the fact that I often buy from him.

I understand that you want to earn, but the client does not want to overpay.
My uncle runs a construction shop. He also thinks everyone who haggles is a dick. He imposes a 30% margin on each product. If someone is renovating an apartment, buys everything from him, it's probably a good idea to haggle. With such a high margin, giving a 5% discount, it will not become poorer.

I do too, and I don't consider my clients "d***" then.
But there is a group of clients who come to me and impose on me
price to sell them.
"Lord. I'm taking it and it's for that much or I'm not buying it"
For me, such clients are "s***".
I will not leave a penny to people who talk to me like this.
And the bedspreads are 200/300 percent on the goods.
100% is the minimum

I was selling myself at the market in Tuszyn. When someone "haggles" like that, it means that he doesn't know how to haggle and wants to force a price. It is normal that such customers will not lower the price.

It's just that many sellers think that they are the most important and think about the customer like Laskowik in "Behind the store".
