don't get done get dom, Anyone watch this program ? does he get his discounts cause people know who he is etc. Do you haggle like this when wanting to buy something cheaper ?

Hello i saw it last time it was on TV, but yes in general i will haggle on anything

even if its a cheap price i will usually be able to haggle myself off some cash

if you dont ask you dont get. if you walk into a shop and say i want this that and the other there not just going to offer u a little off but if you ask "what can you do for me?" ull find that without even giving them the "ok then im off!!!" youll get 10% off.

If i know its the cheapest place im happy at getting the extra 10% but if i know its quite expensive ill keeping try to get more and even turn around and walk off - most of the time they will call you back before your out the door.

I will always try and get things thrown in even after ive got the % off lol

I am always trying to haggle with the sales staff, and most of the time get a few quid off or something thrown in.

But I feel that with a programme like this, retailers are now expecting the general public to ask "whats your best price" etc and are not up for negotiating on the ticket price.

I tried Kwik-fit the other day, with no luck. Remember no harm in trying, you never know

Also its great to have a crowd around you in the shop, I have had people before congratulating me on the result.

Maybe the BBC should call it 'Don't get Dom, get Damo'

He got a well good deal on todays show. Mobility scooter, list price in the shop, £1700, new model.

Customer paid £850 including spare set of batteries, crouch holder and weather protector.

Not bad for a bit of haggling.

HI,

Wait until next week: Dom takes on a certain "High Street Computer Retail outlet" about laptops that mysteriously die within the 13th month of a 12-month long warranty, according to the new Radio Times!

I wonder who that's going to be?! Episode is on Monday 2nd July at 9:15-10:00am on BBC1!

Pooch

Why did i guess todays show was gonna be about PC World, did you notice how they were refunded in gift vouchers only so they would have to use them in another PC World store, I bet the new pc only lasts 13 months to, They should of said shove your vouchers cause i aint buying another pc from PC World again. Can you tell i am anti PC World ? lol

Would like to have seen this. Anyone know if it's repeated?

I hate PC World.

good programme again showing the lady asking for discount on her conservatory .... started at £11,900 and she got it for £8,400.

WOW!

I recently got a price for new kitchen & appliances which started at £5,600. Used a few of Dom's tactics and eventually agreed on £3,620 .. yippee!

Pity those who pay the full price - having said that, the pesky salesman who do that aren't particularly nice eh?
