How often do you attempt to get a discount by offering cash?
Posted by LSUTANGERINE on 10/17/17 at 6:06 pm217
For things like plumbing or electrical work, auto work by a local mechanic, or other services. I have gotten as much as a 20 to 25% discount. A simple question of do you offer a cash discount? often works. They give me a receipt but I suspect they throw their own receipt away or what ever.

I've saved probabty hundreds at my tailor by paying cash.
(In extremely Asian voice) "Oh you pay cash, we do no tax and I give you extra discount too"

Do you wait until you’ve gotten the estimate before you ask, or before?

Anytime someone is self employed.

Your crack dealer gives you a cash discount and a receipt?

THe only time I have asked about it before and estimate was with a dentist. I needed a crown and asked him if he would offer a discount for cash. I can’t believe he said yes.

With people I've used before always, they always accept it too.

Why not? Is dentistry racist?

Our orthodontist knocked off $500 of a $5000 bill for my son’s braces for paying with cash

I can't tell you how bizarre it is that you just posted this. I was just (as I went to TD) ruminating over what the IRS might do in an audit of the return I filed last night, regarding thus very thing. Our rental is in a sorta transitional neighborhood and there are lots of very good locals who love cash.

Any Dr office will give you a cash discount. When I had terrible insurance at my last company, I would always just tell them I'm paying cash and they'd give me the discount.

I did not have DDS insurance at the time. I was going to pay with a check. I was talking about green cash. You too with the green?

My Indian customers love to haggle over price for a service. Like 100% of the time. So yes, I accept cash. The majority are doctors too.

Often
Appliances from Mom & Pop dealers.
Coins & Gold/Silver & Jewelry
I have a clothing store that will do it, I’ve known the owner for a couple of decades.
Some Home Improvement issues from trusted contractors.
Disclaimer: I am always sure that the sellers pay the appropriate taxes on these cash transactions.
