I cant give you any advice on how to bargain, im terrible at that.
I was shopping around for a bike for my girlfriend a week ago. I just got back from college so I havnt done much business with the bike shops around town, but I tried the one that was within walking distance of my house. They had good selection and were good people from other times I had been there over the last few weeks plus thier bikes were all below msrp! The girlfriend found one she liked (hardrock wsd) but when I asked about any same day discount which I had recieved from the shop that sold me my bike, they had the very practiced answer "since we sell the bikes so cheap we cant offer any discounts...". So, the camelback and other stuff will come from cheaper places.
