Haggling can be a powerful money-saver in this economy, but not many people are doing it in the U.S. Cash Peters tries it out at a few stores.[/size][/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
如果你觉得黑莓手机超出了你的财力范围，你为什么不还一下价呢？在时下的经济环境中，讨价还价可以节约很多钱哦，不过在美国这样做的人很少。Cash Peters在几家商店中进行了一番尝试。 [/font]

If you've been to some markets outside of this country, you probably know that there's a little bit of negotiating that goes on during the sale. So in this economic fallout, are retailers here at home ready to bargain? We sent Cash Peters to find out.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Cash Peters: Things are really grim out there. Take Vlad Rifdin, for instance. He sells phones. Just not as often as he'd like.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Vlad Rifdin: People were telling me, after Christmas, as soon as everybody gets money in their pocket, they're gonna go crazy and buy phones. They didn't.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]They didn't. Which means, though, you can get real bargains by haggling. How great is that? So I went -- ran, actually -- straight to my local lamp store to haggle for a ceiling fan that was on sale.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Lamp salesman: Well, it's on sale, so $179.95 would be an outstanding . . . [/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Peters: It's on sale for $179.95. I'm prepared to give you a hundred for it.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Lamp salesman: No, we don't sell it for a hundred dollars. If I'm not making any money behind it, why sell it?[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Because any money's better than no money at all, basically. Next, I went to a lingerie store, to buy a silky, floral-pattern nightgown for . . . you know, a friend.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Peters: How much is this?[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Lingerie lady: What's it, 80 bucks?[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Peters: I will offer you 40 bucks for it.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Lingerie lady: Oh no.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Peters: Yeah but I'm customer, I'm king.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Lingerie lady: Doesn't matter, for me, I'm not going to give you half of price. Unless I'm so desperate, but I'm not desperate yet.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Touche, Lingerie Lady. Anyway, in theory haggling's great fun -- it's like shoplifting, only without the being arrested going to jail part. So why aren't more people doing it?[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Woman: I just think haggling is such a time-consuming, ugly business. [/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Peters: I know, but if it gets you a bargain . . . [/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Woman: I don't want things that much.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]This appeared to be going nowhere. Until I reached Broadway Square Verizon, an independent -- and very empty -- phone shop, and I tried to buy a $400 Blackberry for half price. From Vlad Rifdin.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Rifdin: I would probably be able to pull a couple of strings and do something about it.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Peters: Well here's the thing: Why don't you just sell your Blackberrys for $100, and then people would be flooding the store?[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Rifdin: Because people are willing to pay a lot more for those Blackberrys.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Peters: So you charge $400, just because people will pay it.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Rifdin: Yeah.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Peters: But if they only pay $100, you'd charge $100.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Rifdin: Honest truth? Yes.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Wow. Feel like haggling now?[/size][/font]
