Reddit user u/TRNC_NL wanted an LG OLED55C46LA television advertised at €1,129. The author had heard that the retailer's live chat could negotiate a lower price but did not want to run the conversation personally.

The reported negotiation happened in Dutch. The agent waited through chat delays, dealt with multiple representatives, referred back to an earlier offer and used competitor prices in the discussion. It also declined upsells rather than allowing extra products to replace the original price target.
The author says the conversation produced a €939 price including delivery and an order link sent by email. That was €190 below the stated starting price, although the post's headline rounds the saving to €200. It was also €4 above the requested ceiling, so the task did not meet its target exactly.
The account does not provide a paid receipt or establish the cheapest market price. Other commenters disputed the competitiveness of the deal, and the author emphasized nearby service and warranty support. The concrete output was a negotiated offer and purchase link, with the price, seller preference and final purchase still requiring a shopper's judgment.

Frequently asked questions
Did the offer meet the requested ceiling?
No. The reported €939 including shipping was €4 above the €935 target.
Why avoid repeating the €200 headline as an exact saving?
The stated starting and final amounts differ by €190, so €200 is a rounded headline claim.
Was the deal proven cheapest or paid?
No paid receipt is supplied, and commenters disputed the price. The author preferred nearby service and warranty support.
