If they say yes, getting a lower price is possible. If not, you'll either have to pay the original price or shop somewhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CIs_there_any_wiggle_room_on_the_price%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong>&#8220;Is there any wiggle room (on the price)?&#8221;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\"<a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/wiggle\/cUaBguNBQhGwIJi7_k7QSA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wiggling<\/a>\" is moving slightly from side to side. When looking for discounts, \"wiggle room\" means the possibility of a price changing (by going <em>down<\/em>!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CCan_I_get_a_discount_if_I_buy_%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong>&#8220;Can I get a discount if I buy (#)?&#8221;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A good way to get a lower price is to buy more than one item. So if you need multiples, ask if the seller can drop the price for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CDo_you_price_match%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong>&#8220;Do you price match?&#8221;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many sellers have a price-match guarantee; if their competitor is selling the same item at a lower price, they will match it. If you're not sure if a store offers this service, it doesn't hurt to ask!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CWhat_can_you_do_for_me%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong>&#8220;What can you do for me?&#8221;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a very informal phrase you can use to ask if lower prices are possible. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I'm interested in this refrigerator, but <strong>is there anything you can do for me<\/strong> on the price?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>\"Can you do anything for me?\" is another common phrase with the same meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I'd like to buy these sweaters, but the prices are a bit high. <strong>Can you do anything for me?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CShop_around%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong>&#8220;Shop around&#8221;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you're not sure if a seller is offering the best price, you may decide to \"shop around,\" or research prices from other sellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you tell a seller you want to shop around before buying, they may offer you a discount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Hmm, I think I'll <strong>shop around<\/strong> before making a decision.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Negotiating_Prices\"><\/span><strong>Negotiating Prices<\/strong> <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/12\/26194903\/bargaining_english_2-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/12\/26194903\/bargaining_english_2-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/12\/26194903\/bargaining_english_2-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/12\/26194903\/bargaining_english_2-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/12\/26194903\/bargaining_english_2-420x280.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In order for both you and the seller to be happy, you'll have to compromise on a final price. Use these phrases to help you reach an agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CWill_you_accept_%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong>&#8220;Will you accept __?&#8221;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This simple phrase asks if a price is acceptable to the seller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Will you accept<\/strong> $25 for these three books?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CCan_you_do_%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong>&#8220;Can you do __?&#8221;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When bargaining, people often use \"do\" as a casual alternative to \"accept.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>$200 is a bit too much for me. <strong>Can you<\/strong> <strong>do<\/strong> $175?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CCan_you_meet_me_in_the_middle%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong>&#8220;Can you meet me in the middle?&#8221;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine that you offer to pay $100 for an item and the seller <em>counteroffers<\/em> with $130. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From here, you can suggest \"meeting in the middle\" \u2014 cutting the price difference in half. So in this case, meeting in the middle would mean the final price is $115 (100 + 30 - 15 = 115).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to express this idea is \"meet halfway.\"<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"unified-block unified-chat-bubble pos-left\"><div class=\"unified-chat-bubble-user\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/22141604\/avatar_11.png\" class=\"unified-chat-bubble-avatar\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\"><div class=\"unified-chat-bubble-name\">Buyer<\/div><\/div><div class=\"unified-chat-bubble-content\"><div class=\"block-align-none\">The listing says $80, but that's too high.
