Hello forum,
Yesterday, I purchased a kitchen from a large kitchen studio chain, featuring products from the company Burger and including Neff appliances. The price negotiations went well, and I was satisfied. However, when I mentioned that this so-called lowest price guarantee is really just a cheap marketing gimmick, the salesperson only smiled knowingly.
Challenge accepted!
Does anyone happen to know of a kitchen studio that would be willing to prepare a competitive offer for the exact same kitchen based on my detailed purchase contract? There has to be a way to beat these guys at their own game!
Best regards

I don’t find the question that dramatic... I do; I think it’s audacious to expect a third party to create an offer *just for fun* and *free of charge* when the basis of the offer no longer exists.
This clearly shows the mindset that many (current) buyers have nowadays; that’s exactly why the thread remains open. Maybe some will reflect on this eventually.

Newbie12329 Feb 2016 11:40I think you are being a bit harsh here. No one claimed that work should be done just for fun and free of charge. I believe it would have been possible to find a good solution that worked well for both parties.
But as I said, the initial idea of questioning the lowest price guarantee was probably a bad one, which is why I am officially withdrawing my request.

Best regards, Bauexperte…and another thought on this:
Yes, buyers can be difficult.
I think it’s best to stay calm when the initial offer after planning is around €24,000 (about $26,000), then the seller says, “Wow, we currently have a 50% discount on timber,” and you have to negotiate back and forth several times, sometimes involving a manager, to finally reach a somewhat realistic price.
That’s completely normal, and that’s how the process should work.
