TheKevinShow Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I know that if it's on consignment, they can give an offer to the owner and see what they think, but I've got my eye on something in their clearance section and while it is only $150, I'd like to see if there's any room there for dropping the price. So, has anyone had any luck with asking them to negotiate the price on a non-consignment listing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I've done it successfully before, but I doubt they would budge much on a clearance item. Doesn't hurt to try, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKevinShow Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 That was my thought as well. I mean, it's only $150 and the worst that happens if I ask is they say no. They won't jack up the price for me asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsguy Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 For clearance items they typically don't really entertain offers. On in-stock non-consignment items they do, but the amount they will take off depends on how long they have been sitting down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsl135 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I've given up on making offers with them. They don't operate based in logic on those. I've literally gotten the response from them before, in regards to making an offer close to the normal Summer/Holiday sale price that "more often than not, items sell for full price after sales." They're honestly very frustrating to negotiate with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are collectors who have dealt with them on a dollar for dollar basis who will tell you meigray can be known to have a mindset where they would rather see the item rot. It must be nice to be able to sit on inventory for 10+ years. Edited May 11, 2017 by RedWings1992 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're honestly very frustrating to negotiate with. That was my experience as well. Made an offer in ~2014 for an AHL jersey that had gone through multiple 50% off and BOGO sales, and they refused to get to those prices.

Devilsguy Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I have always found in my experience Meigray to be pretty willing to work with me on price. Then again I am there a lot so maybe it is because they fear me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're honestly very frustrating to negotiate with. I have had the same experience. Whatever I would offer, and I always made reasonable offers of more than Summer sale prices, they would come back somewhere in between. As such, I have given up on making offers and only buy during sales, for the most part. Maybe the strategy is to make a low offer, and then the counter may be better. Whenever I have made a reasonable offer the counter was way too high. i don't like haggling. I like department store shopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
