"get it to 290" would be grammatically correct, but somewhat vague. Most English speakers would understand that you are asking that the price be reduced so as to equal $290. Best:
"Would you reduce the price by 10 dollars?"
"Would you sell it for 290 dollars?" (Referring to the thing labeled $300.)

Would you sell it for ten dollars?
(I think that is what you meant, anyway.)

@jickoon Heh, that is the answer then:
"Can you reduce the price by 10 dollars?"
or maybe:
"Would you take 10 dollars off?"
Either would be common and correct usage.

@r0kus: for real? but hmm.. actually when i use the expression 'can you reduce it to 290 dollars?' my friend said it's a bit unnatural;; can you explain this?

@r0kus: he said i should say "can you let it to 290 bucks?"

@jickoon "Can you let it to" is incorrect and I was unable to interpret what you were trying to say. Maybe he meant, "Can you let it be 290 dollars?".

@r0kus: ah, i see. then after all "can you reduce it to/by xx dollars" is natural sentence..? is it??

@jickoon Yes, "reduce" works in this context. The word "let" does not without some other verb (such as "let it be").
