Can I use online prices to bargain on the highstreet?
Discussion
Hi,
I've set my heart on adding another Omega to my modest collection. It will be brought on the high street from the likes of Ernest Jones/Goldsmiths/Beaverbrooks/whoever offers the best discount.
Just thought I'd ask if anyone has had success using online prices as a bargaining chip? I highly doubt it but thought I'd double check.
If not will shop around and haggle for 10/15%. If that's about the norm? Or obtainable.
Many thanks.

Hi,
Could someone clairfy something for me, I recall somehwere reading that shops could not discriminate with regards to payment method. I.e if you haggle a discount then hit them with the interest free then thats hard life for them but I called in off the cuff today to a highstreet jeweller after work, sat down tried the particular omega on etc spent almost an hour in there got myself a discount after a while of haggleing then mentioned the credit and the whole deal was wiped off the table.
I was told discount was for cash purchase and credit was fixed. As it happens I can buy it outright but have no inention of it with interest free credit knocking about.
Was this right?
Thanks and sorry for the lengthy post.
