Personally I couldn't give a toss about what other folk think about me and I mainly do it to wind them up and to see how far I can take them for regards to a bargain some bend over backwards to accommodate my veiled demands and some are complete arse holes who think they are it which is a bit stupi...

You just simply say can you do a good deal on this book that we can mutually agree on it is as simple as that there are other ways of saying it of course but that is entirely up to you If you're happy with that then fair enough. I wouldn't go to those lengths just to save a quid or two. Aren't you ...

If the question is why does anybody want to have a bargain at Waterstones why not at least try. With the right words and bit of charm you could end up with a tidy sum knocked off the original price and what is the worst that can happen? They say no then so be it nothing ventured nothing gained but y...

I know it is much easier to go to Amazon but there are still people who don't have an Amazon account for various reasons from not having a computer especially the elderly which is a shame as they have to pay through the nose for their reading matter to those who don't agree with Amazons working prac...

The only time I've experienced people getting discounts at stores is if the goods were damaged or faulty in some way. Why else would Smiths or Waterstones be willing to lose a share of their profits? It certainly wouldn't work on comics. Pity. It'd stop all the complaints about The Beano no longer c...

to charge you anything from what the article is priced.

The link I posted is just for a general guide for those who don't have the gift of the gab and it does work in WHS and Waterstones

What they say over the phone and what they say at the till are 2 different things I've bought books at both stores and when I've finally got served I say is there any chance of a discount on it? The assistant goes to whoever is in charge and comes back with the answer yes sometimes it's pennies off...

Actually, Derek, I have done just that in several shops. I've gone through piles of comics in charity shops and advised them that prices were either too low or too high. I also explained the reason for the corrected prices as in foxing, wear and tear, fading and missing pages. AND I've paid the hig...

However, if you say that said item is not really worth £5 an issue, but worth £2 an issue and you proceed to pay £2 an issue in the knowledge that is what it is worth, how can that be immoral? You are here introducing a new concept, Colin, which has nothing to do with what I have previously said, a...

It is not strictly taboo to haggle in a charity shop Well I think it is, in fact I'd go as far as to say that it is virtually immoral. the charity shop didn't pay for the comic or annual and if you manage to get half the price it says on the ticket the charity shop still makes a profit either way N...

Shameful attitude indeed so getting a couple of quid or pence knocked off is such a heanus crime to do because it is a charity shop? Would it be such a travesty if I did the same in WH Smith or Waterstones? No it wouldn't and yes I do understand the difference between a charity shop and a car boot s...

Actually I am buying a few of the annuals as l want to in a small way contribute to sales. My thinking being that if it sells reasonably well egmont might do another one in future. So to coin a phrase every little helps. However if someone wants to sell them on ebay good luck to them at the grander...
