An experience of bargaining in Japan Yesterday I went to a electrical store X to buy an ipad. Store X offered me a discount of 3000 Yen and points of 10% of the total price. I decided to buy the ipad there, but ipads of the storage that I want were sold out. So I went to another electrical store named Y where is 5 mins on foot from store X. Unfortunately, store Y didn't have any discount, and the points there is only 1% of the total price. A discount of 3000 Yen and 9% points wroth about 100 dollars. With some more money, I can buy a larger storage ipad at the first store. Just before I gave up buying the ipad at store Y, I told a stuff that I was offed a discount of 3000 Yen. Then he said that they may give me the same discount, and went to ask the manager for permission. After the confirmation, he said they are able to offer me the same discount. But still, I can not make up my mind because of the points. Then I told him that besides the discount store X also offered me 10% points. Then he made another confirmation with the manager and the answer is OK! I didn't expect the bargaining, but it worked. I was very happy because I bought the ipad of the storage I want at a very satisfied price.
