Why Negotiation Matters in Replica Shopping

Unlike retail stores with fixed prices, many Kakobuy Spreadsheet sellers expect negotiation. Understanding this can save you 10-30% on orders.

When to Negotiate

• Bulk orders (3+ items)
• Repeat purchases from same seller
• Items listed for 30+ days
• Slightly flawed items you're willing to accept

When NOT to Negotiate

• Already discounted items
• Popular items with high demand
• First-time small orders
• Rush orders needing fast shipping

Essential Negotiation Phrases

Opening Lines

"Can you offer better price for repeat customer?" - Shows loyalty intent.

"What's your best price for [quantity]?" - Opens bulk discussion.

"I'm comparing similar items. Can you match [price]?" - Creates competitive pressure.

Closing Phrases

"I'll order today if price is [X]" - Shows serious buying intent.

"Can you include free shipping?" - Alternative to price reduction.

Bulk Order Strategy

Combine items strategically:

• 2-3 items: Ask for 5-10% off
• 4-6 items: Request 10-15% discount
• 7+ items: Negotiate 15-25% reduction

The Package Deal Approach

Instead of negotiating price directly, ask for added value:

• Free shipping upgrade
• Extra accessories included
• Priority QC photos
• Faster processing time

Timing Your Negotiation

Best times to negotiate:

• End of month (sellers meeting quotas)
• During slow seasons
• After major shopping holidays
• When new batch arrives (old stock discounted)

Red Flags During Negotiation

Walk away if seller:

• Gets aggressive or rude
• Refuses to send QC photos
• Pressures immediate payment
• Offers prices too good to be true

Building Long-Term Relationships

Best savings come from repeat business:

• Leave positive reviews
• Refer other buyers
• Be patient and respectful
• Pay promptly when agreed

Sample Negotiation Script

You: "Hi, interested in [item]. Ordering 4 pieces total. Best price?"

Seller: "Listed price is ¥299 each."

You: "Can do ¥260 each for all 4? Will leave good review and order again next month."

Seller: "¥280 lowest."

You: "Deal at ¥275 with standard shipping included?"

Final Tips

• Always be polite - rudeness closes doors
• Know market prices before negotiating
• Don't lowball excessively
• Accept "no" gracefully

Successful negotiation balances respect with assertiveness. Start small, build relationships, and watch your savings grow.
