Replying to charliewillbe:

I remember that I ever read auch a article:one European big buyer when they inquiried quotations from a Chinese supplier, the supplier changes five tims for their prices from the afternoon to the next morning. And this arose a hot discussion concerned for quotation from China. But most of the comments are negative.

According to my expereinces, you should treat those guys differently. Normally speaking, most of buyers from European countries, United States even Southern-east Asian countries don"t like to bargin. If they think your price looks good or attractive products, they will continue to talk with you. Otherwise they will give up. But it will be a different occasion when you talk with Indian buyers, Middle-east buyers, they are used to bargin more.

Actually I think it"s no meaning to play a price game any more in such a transparent information era like today. Professional guys know how much you need to make for. And in some occasions the price you quoted means how professional you are.

In the other hand, if a buyer begin to bargin with you in first contacting and non-sample evaluation, I think those buyers are not valuable at all. That may mean they only want to talk with you for prices things, or at business beginning.

So my stage is to quote honestly, No matter how much you have marked up.The most important thing just you need to make sure he/she is a real buyer, a serious account.

if you want to know that -bargain about prices- you should know market prices because if you buy about  high prices you have some lost if they  agree  too low price they can cheat you!  so..you should learn all of market prices then you can buy pls dont believe lowest prices firstly know market and suitble prices......

In my point of view, offering the best price is the best way , as you know the buyers may ask many suppliers to finish the quotation, and they will compare the prices from item to item , then they get the answer who is the cheaper , which draws his attention to your company, and also in this case , it will save many time , bargining is quite waste of time, So i advise to offer best prices , this is what i did for my clients , just for your reference .
