    I'm looking to buy new furniture and I found out recently that furniture stores will actually come down on their prices (wish I knew this before!). So, how can I legitimately expect to haggle down?

    I can often get 8% on plastic or around 10% if paying cash, but gallery is the hardest to negotiate with IMO.. Good luck..

    I plan on going to Roomstore, Rooms to Go, and a couple of others too. I would try Ethan Allen, but I hear they are really overpriced.

    I got a GREAT love seat for my office at Ethan Allen for $100 bucks. It was in their damaged furniture area. It had a real small kool aid type stain on it. I forget what they were asking, but I was there and had just bought a full sized couch. I told the manager to let me know when the price comes down on the love seat. He asked how much I wanted to give for it, I said 100 and it was mine.

    furniture probably is one of the most marked up items in retail.

    Try "K Furniture" near Almeda mall. They have high quality products at amazing prices (and you can haggle those prices even further).

    JackFruit, i had my best luck negotiating at Fingers. Works well especially when you get more than 1 item.

    I'm thinking Fingers is one of those stores that can negotiate down with no problem if they have to because their prices are so jacked up. lol.
