Often, once they see the problem with the item they will offer a discount just to get rid of the item. Don’t be bashful about negotiating for a discount larger than the one offered.
6. If you have found the same item at another store or advertised for a lower price, ask the store if they will either match or beat the price if you buy the item right away. And do not hesitate to bargain. Many stores will, especially if you are purchasing a lot of items.
