Yes this is the major issue, most of them make it look like it's their right for the price to be decreased, while in other cases some of them would act like you are lying to them about the price.
It can be very annoying and some of them will even have the guts to tell you that they are selling it for a particular price in another place. This thing makes me sick all the time

I think that is the customer's language. Most of them would ask for the price decrease and still pay the actual prices for the items.
I understand your perfectly but some of them will want to force you to reduce the price for them and they will even want you to sell it to them at the rate in which you bought it

That's the part I hate the most. It's completely wrong to tell a seller or vendor someone else is selling at a particular price cause they are two different people probably buying from different places. If you feel the price is not okay, simply go somewhere else or try negotiating.

That's right, if you feel the price is too high, it's best to politely negotiate or look for alternative options rather than trying to play sellers against each other.

The customers need to understand that you're running a business for profit not bankruptcy. Tell them the business will sink if they keep on asking a discount.

I do agree that most sellers mark up their products from their original price due to customers' demand for discounts. I think it is normal in having business in sales.

The business world is all about everyone trying to maximise the greatest benefits for itself. Customers would always ask for a decrease. Just stand your ground especially if you know you are on a fair pricing.

The customers always want deals that favors them. If it is possible to decrease the price a bit and still make profits, a business can still do it for some customers.

Businesses need to think carefully about how they set their prices. They must make sure they can still earn money even when they give discounts.

I think that customers will always bargain the price. This is why so many shopkeepers always price their products high so that they can earn good money, even after customers agrees to buy items for a specific, low price.

Reduction or increase of price also depends a lot on market demand and supply. Monopoly also plays a huge role. Many businesses are quite monopolistic and they usually control the price of the product.

Even business people when they want to get supply also ask for a price reduction. It is normal in business.

In a monopolistic market, the company has the power to set prices without much competition. This can lead to higher prices for consumers and lower quality products or services.
