Ask for a discount on the suit I'm buying?

    Hey

    I was wondering what you guys think of this...

    I'm thinking of buying a suit for 550 (reduced from 600), and possibly a shirt for about 120 and a tie for 75. So about 800 in total.

    It's possible I might just buy the suit...

    My question is: is it normal to ask for a discount? Or would that be weird?

    Why not? Give it a lash and ask them what they can do for you if you take the whole lot. The worst they can say is "No, sorry, that's the price".

    Yup - why not! Try getting the shirt thrown in first and then chance it with the tie.. or vice versa to suit your preference..

    I've no doubt you'll strike a deal with them.. after all, you, "really like the suit, and would hate to take the business elsewhere"..

    i think they usually throw in a pair of socks or something if you spend alot, but no harm in asking for a discount i guess.

    You can buy the suit and say that you want the shirt thrown in?

    Ask for a discount and if he doesn't give you one just say, 'ah go on, throw in the shirt'.

    I work in a shop in City Centre....people try this all the time. We CAN give discounts. But usually the people who try it are buying the really cheap suits?!
