Anybody know anything about purchasing diamond rings...
at a mall store? My co worker is looking to take the plunge, dont worry I already tried to warn him off but he isnt listenting. He found a ring for the little lady at Zales Diamonds and it is about 5k. What do you think he could talk them down too?
When I asked my wife I just paid what they asked hehe. I have NO IDEA how much you can negotiate with them.
THANKS!

I've taken negotiation classes - there are pretty neat tips/tricks (don't be the first to offer, don't accept the first offer, counter a few times, pull the walk-a-way, etc.). Best advice in negotiation, everything is up for negotiation and in this type of purchase (one-time, little risk of bad relationship), he should be able to either package the rings together (either her engagement, his marriage, her marriage or all three) and nudge them down quite a bit. The power is in the info available so he should read up diamonds and check other sites before committing (kinda like picking a wife :lol:
