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!

Nope. I hate it. Even in cases of negotiation it almost never works out unless the other person is like me because I will propose what I see as a fair offer and I find the hagglers will start at a point they know is unfair with the idea of meeeting somewhere between. The moment the ridiculous offer is made im out.
