Read the article in Week 1 Supporting Material: “Even at Megastores, Hagglers Find No Price Is Set in Stone” and the attached articles above. Negotiating strictly over price-sometimes referred to as “old-fashioned haggling”, is making a comeback. Usually reserved for flexible pricing regarding homes and cars, many “list price only” goods and services are now negotiable. Even furniture, appliances, electronics and other medium to big-ticket items are now up for discussion. See what happens at Best Buy when you simply say you like an item, but the price is too high … What previously non – negotiable items might be the subject of a bargain in your experience? How was the negotiation handled? (5 points) Post your first primary response by Wednesday before midnight. Post at least two secondary responses to classmates by Sunday before midnight. Brendan |
