one more stable question... do you haggle over price/quote?

[Bowen4Horses]

so... we've had a quote for stables of 3250. my hubby says i should say our budget is 3000... is that right? can you haggle over stable prices?

p.s. i've never haggled over anything in my life, i'm the sort of person that would go to one of those markets in turkey and pay £500 for a fake handbag...

Go for it, as you know money is tight and work scarce at the moment, so they may be willing to take a reduction as long as their selling/building something. It better to have 90% of the money than none at all. Just be brave, hold your nerve and tell them thats all you have. Good luck!

ha, i'm so crap. i just sent the email saying:

i need: x,y, and z, but only have 3k, can you do that?

i sent it about 3 minutes ago, and already want to send one saying 'sorry for being rude, i'll pay full price'

but, i shall hold out (for another half an hour...)

yes haggle i do all the time, even if the price is already a good one. I got my stable and feed shed lower than the quote and was already impressed with the price .
