Is it possible to haggle over the price of something in a high street store, or is it difficult because the staff dont tend to be allowed to to drop prices of things?

yes yes yes, some will knock minimum 2.5% of if you pay cash as the price is marked up to cover the cost of credit card transactions.

Speak to a senior assistant you can get all sorts of deals

Got currys to waver the delivery fee as they actually wanted 2 x £30 cause there was two items ended up getting free delivery.

As you say lots of freebies, whats the worst they can do if you ask is just say no

Was looking at a tv, told htem it was £200 cheaper on line. Tney said well you can take it away today. I said for £200 I would wait.

Asked me which site, I said Currys.

I was in a Currys store

Said they would match the price, showed them the pound notes and then told them I Also wanted a tv for the kitchen, got extra discount and wall brackets etc

On the other hand I once went into a shop for a vase and came out with a corner sofa and two rugs. So salespeople can spot the easily persuaded too lol.

One word "Yes"

All prices are negotiable but I'd not put a bet on you haggling with a trolly of shopping at Asda lol

Certainly in the more prestigious outlets as they have such a massive mark up anyhows. So not really a saving tho.

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else

Was in Vodafone last week, saw an employee give a free accessory and a discount on phone after the price had been agreed - effectively turned down £30 revenue.

Odd...
