  1. Do Your Homework<\/b>: Before you start negotiating prices, research the current prices of ACs and fridges, both new and used. This knowledge will give you a benchmark to gauge the fairness of the asking price.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Be Respectful<\/b>: Always approach negotiations respectfully. A friendly and polite demeanor can go a long way in building rapport with the seller.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Start with a Lower Offer<\/b>: It’s generally a good idea to start your negotiation with an offer lower than what you’re willing to pay. This gives you room to negotiate upwards.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Highlight Market Prices<\/b>: Use your research to highlight market prices. Sellers are more likely to lower their prices if they realize their asking price is higher than the market average.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
