I have the answer Leon....a t shirt...just with the words.."any chance of a discount for an honest shopper?"
This should remind them of the shoplifters out there and therefore trigger a reward responce.
Plus maybe a printed card that you slide across with your credit/debit card.
The car is easy for me...I let them think they have pulled off the sale of the century but I only respond to a great price and when there is no more to squeeze out I work on getting other stuff..its value is retail price to me but these items wont cost the vendor anything near retail.
Buying a race bike I would call by with my bike fully prepared looking new, going to practice and buy some chain oil or spark plugs then casually stroll over to look at the bike I wanted on display...the guy would come over and sell it to me.. yes its a great bike I guess but I have to sell my bike first..I get a great trade in..then work on getting a discount..then not happy I ask him to throw in a chain and a helmet...AND he would go home and boast how he sold this guy a bike and he had only called in to buy some chain oil...everyone wins.
