How much of a discount can you expect through haggling?

I'm looking to purchase the new-ish Sony KD-55X9000H.

Yet I’m wondering how much of a discount is on offer if I went in-store and haggled with the likes of Good Guys, JB, or Bing Lee?

As I’d rather not march in-store with a barrel to bend them over to wrestle out the best deal, but if there's a decent discount to have, I'll roll up my sleeves and go to war.

  • You need to find the best online price for them to match or beat, but at the end of the day it is up to the discretion of the sales person.

    I helped my sister buy a new TV by finding a real good deal online and JB was more than happy to match the deal with free delivery (was only 3km from the store but had no car big enough for the TV)

    • Thanks for that. I’ll see how I go. Spotted 10% off at The Good Guys today, but too late to run around haggling now. Especially with a large barrel.

  • I got my Beat Powerbeats Pro from officeworks for $98 with insurance (used a $50 voucher to cover the insurance though). Just haggle and know the system

  • I usually just honey pot the salesperson it works most of the time

  • I was told by a friend/salesperson that TVs don't have much margin in them, everybody is advertising prices well below RRP. The best discount can be obtained when a manufacturer offers the discount, for example when JB have 20% off Samsung. Example only - don't know what the real figures are

      I do wonder how true that is though. Workmate yesterday was looking at a 65" LG, it was $2295 in the morning, went on Click Frenzy sale and got dropped to $1895 (same as good guys commercial), I sent him the 11% off code on here, and was also able to get JB HiFi vouchers @5% discount through our employer. So almost a $700 saving over the normal RRP, and I'm sure JB still made some money on it.

    I always reccomend three days of solid negotiations.
