      1. Someone who negotiates as a first time buyer is usually only a one time buyer
      2. If they do return a precedent has been set
      3. First time buyers are the most costly in terms of returns etc
      4. Why would we favour a completely new customer over our 1'000's of repeat customers?

          The only time I ever negotiate on prices is on big ticket items such as cars, bikes and someday a home.  I can't imagine doing this with clothes.  Especially brand new.  If you don't want to pay what it cost then don't buy it.

            I've had people trying to get a bargain on new PERISHABLES… As in: trying to lower the price of a bar of choc...

            Nothing amazes me anymore in that department, you can imagine...

              I also once had a customer follow up on his question on how much a box of cereals costed with "Why does it cost that much?"…

              I thought of giving him a line of Socrates, maybe Aristoteles, but instead just turned around...

                  Just took a look at cultizm. Theres an ad of lvc. Slogan: tribute to the biker.
                  Could be an IH slogan too. Furthermore they have a black overdyed 505.
                  Seems like the big L found some inspiration in our beloved label…

                  why so serious?

                    Why does cereal cost so much?  Pretty soon, stores will have to put the Cap'n Crunch in those locked cabinets like they do razor blades and cigarettes.

                                      Doesn't sound as though they want a 10% discount… Sounds more like they want to pay 25% of retail. :(.
