When shopping for antiques there is one easy question that even people who hate
to bargain can easily ask. After the
vendor has given you the price on your desired item ask, "Is that your best
price?" Often they will offer 10-15%
discount within seconds of the question tumbling from your mouth.
If
you are antique shopping abroad, after asking for the best price, follow up
with the question, "Is that the price for export?" Export prices exclude VAT (Value Added Tax)
which in France
is about 19.6% of the profit. Asking
this later question can often take off an additional 5-10% of the original
asking price saving your Euros for more shopping opportunities!
Lastly if the vendor isn't willing to bargain on one item, ask him to make a
bigger discount on a second item. Many
vendors will give better discounts the more you buy!
