Explanation / Answer

Answer : Yes, everyone love bargaining. So, I do bargaining. Yes, sometimes I enjoy attempting to persuade others to my point of view. Because, sometimes sellers charge higher price than the original market price specially when the seller is monopolistic for a specific market. In that case, if I face another market and see that there is low price rate of same products than the monopolistic seller then obviously next time when I will face the monopolistic seller, I will discuss about this price matter with the monopolistic seller and I will tell him that he charges higher price than the original market price. In that case the monopolistic seller may give me some discount on my purchasing products.

Yes, others may see me as a good bargainer but it is totally dependent on them. According to me I am seen as strong because by bargaining I will be profitable. Yes, I am perceived me as one who gives in easily, or holds out too long, or know when to make concessions and tradeoffs.

I see myself as a good bargainer but not always. Because, if I face competitive market then there is fixed price rate for all sellers which is decided by the government. In that case I can not bargain.

From the above discussion it is clear when how can I bargain. In this way others may also be profitable by bargaining. But it depends on them that they wants bargain or not. If anyone want to bargain and tell me how can that person be profitable by bargaining then I will tell the above trick which I use and will discuss how it may be effective to us as consumer. When I face bargaining situation and be profitable then I feel most competent as a bargainer. But on opposite case like perfect competitve market situation I feel least competent.
