Just thought about this question, see I haggled with a stall owner I see every time at a local comic con I go every year, lovely chap and we always have a little cheeky back and forth about certain figures or collectibles.

What about you? Did you ever haggle once for a particular thing you liked? Or are you the straight person who buys it up front?

I'd like to know!

Only on expensives items or antiques. I don't like it, but it seems to be expected on marketplace. I'm so used to people haggling I post everything 25% higher than the amount I actually want or expect.

That being said, I always think it's funny when someone posts obo on their item. If the price is 700 obo, why the hell would I offer you 700?

When someone offers 100 and it ends up being the best offer
