If you find yourself buying everything for about the normal price and only making a little money off reselling the item then this thread might help.
Know your "target"
Before trying to bargain a price down, you must know your "target". By this it means you must see if he lowers the price. Real example: Today just a few minutes ago, someone listed a longbow in cs for 275k. The 2nd cheapest was 354k. Then the seller started advertising the item for 250k. Then he started at 225k. So then I told him I would buy it for 200k. He accepted. Even then I tried to bargain it down to 175k, he didn't accept. You don't want to stretch it. Even if the person really wants to sell the item, you must not push the price down too much. That would make you lose the "target". So you must know your target and try to bargain it down but not push it or stretch it. Also don't try to make deals that are extremely low. Don't try to trick the people unaware! Another tip is to set a price limit, if the person's final offer is still above your limit then you may not want to buy it. Especially for new items.
I hope this helps you merchant!
