Shopping guide for Sadar Bazar

Sadar Bazar is the heart of Delhi right from the pin to the fancy items all are sold here from 10 Rs to as high as your budget allows. To experience the real feel of this market you need to be the bargaining Ninja warrior who knows the real bargaining tricks. Now if you are wondering how to bargain then don’t worry, we are here to provide you the best tips that you can use and get your items for the price you wouldn’t have thought of. The best option would be buying things in bulk but if you are not looking for bulk then these tips will help you for sure.

1. Ask the shopkeeper for the price

If you like something in the market and want to buy it, then just ask the shopkeeper about the price. He will definitely tell you to take it and promises to offer a good price, it is a great marketing skill. But you are not supposed to hear all that, just ask for the price. In such a situation, pretend that you have seen this product at the other shops also. This will lower down him to a good price.

2. Now think of the price you feel it is worth

‘A Product’s value is not determined by its material cost but how much is it worth to you’

The shopkeeper will tell such a price that can get him a good profit. Now you have to judge what the actual worth of that product is. Once you have thought of it just hold on and act as seeing other things. This will make the person feel that you are looking for many things and may buy multiple things.

3. Go little lower even on your ideal price

Now if you really did not like anything else then just go a little lower to your expected price as if he quoted Rs. 500 and you feel the worth of the product is 400, then quote even a lower price like Rs 200. He might get rude or he might say give a little more. But stick to that price for a little time. Don’t panic and repeat the price.

4. Act like you are not interested

‘Don’t expect to negotiate in a deal if you are afraid to walk away from it’

I know you liked the item a lot but have to act like you are not interested in that item and familiar with the market. Don’t act like a newbie, just start walking towards the next shop or you may see around. This will make him feel insecure and he might offer you a lower price when you go again to him.

5. Grab it

Once the shopkeeper says a final price and you think it is good enough, then just grab it. Mostly you get the product at half price or maybe near to that. If you know how to evaluate the actual price of the product then you can win this game very easily.
