The counterintuitive move is to negotiate hard on a secondary item first — use the expensive, marked piece as your anchor to build rapport and signal you're a serious buyer. Once the shop is engaged on a deal, your real target (often the unpriced oddball sitting nearby) becomes far easier to acquire at a deep discount. In this case, negotiating the $125 driver down to $90 unlocked a $10 add-on for the unpriced beryllium copper wedge — a staggering markdown.
