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!

I do sometimes at yard sales or craft markets, like if I've found a big pile of stuff I want, I'll offer a reasonable round number for all of it. If I'm only interested in 1 thing, I won't haggle unless it's priced a little too high.

When I hold my own yard sales, jeebus, nearly everyone wants to do it and it wears me out. But I'm looking to unload my clutter so I wheel & deal.

And then there's car buying...
