I think it might be interesting to hear from all of you some items that you never buy at full price.
I'll throw one out there...
Obviously no one pays sticker price for a new car. Anytime I'm in the market for a vehicle, I research the invoice price on edmunds.com, then e-mail the sales manager at every dealer within a 150 mile radius asking for a quote within 3 business days. Once I get all the quotes, I contact the second lowest dealer and ask him if they are willing to beat the lowest quote. (They've always done so.) I then take this new best price into my local dealer and simply state that "if you will beat this price I will buy the car from you today." I've always been able to get deals much lower that what the internet says I should expect to pay.
How about all of you...what items do you never pay full price for and if you don't mind, how do you pull it off?
