Heya, I was wondering, can anyone teach me some phrases on how to haggle in japanese?

Phrases like, "Will you take less for this?" "How about 30000YEN for this?" "Can you throw in anything extra?" and any other ones that you think will be useful

Thanks!

-Rich

There are very few situations in Japanese shopping where haggling takes place. What were you planning on buying?

Sukoshi takaku nai desune. (It's a little expensive, don't you agree ?)
Mou sukoshi (chotto) makete (nebiki) moraemasen? (Could you give me a slight discount?)

You mean: "Sukoshi takaku nai desuka?"

"Sukoshi takaku nai desune" literally means "it's a little not expensive."

Just my two yen!

Yeah, I must have had a real mind freeze on that one. What I obviously meant was Sukoshi takaku nai ? or nai desuka?
