Top notch!Mr Bob and I have bought a few really good pictures in cash before, and got between 5% and 10% off, or got the framed version for the price of the unframed. If it's a specialist store (i.e. electrical/art/instruments etc), it's always worth asking. It doesn't work in a supermarket though...I got back from Marrakesh, and automatically did the "how much? THat's far too much!" when getting in some groceries at Sainsburys...
