Tipping is not only a great way to say thanks for a great service but also a way to ensure you get great service! As such, I’ve started a community website that applies this principle to the art of finding and haggling bargains. This may seem like an un-natural marriage but bear with me!

Whilst there are many social network sites where people will help and advice each other, the reality is that people are only going to make a modest effort for a stranger. What our site does is provide the extra motivation needed to get people to go the extra mile, e.g. haggling with sellers, by making “tipping” part of our etiquette. Basically, if someone saves you time and/or money then you say thanks for the service by leaving them a tip… in other words you tipatipa!

Anyway, I’d love to know what you think of the site/idea and perhaps you’d consider doing a write up about it with a suggestion for what you think would make a fair tip? It would be great to be able to link to it from our website as a kind of tipping guide!
