Message:: [QUOTE="gboulton, post: 1480050, member: 27043"]You and I are, I think, mostly in agreement. Like you, I'll haggle over anything.  Healthcare, bank services, retail stores, car repair, you name it.  If it has a price, I'll ask for a lower one.  Sometimes I get one, sometimes i don't, sometimes we do the deal, sometimes we don't.  As said before, if it's done respectfully and above board, I'm all good with it regardless of which side I'm on, or who "wins". And, like you, those times I've gotten a great deal "out of the box", I've generally taken it and ran.  As stated before...I don't think there's anything inherently "wrong" with haggling a cherry pick...it's just not real bright. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Would I haggle a $40 coin as medorman suggested?  Absolutely I would!  If it was "in the ballpark" at $40, but I felt with patience and a little work I could find an example for $30, then I'd try to haggle.  Sure...it's "only $10"...but hey, if you found $10 on the ground, wouldn't you pick it up?  Sure you would. On the other hand...if it's a $500 variety and someone at a garage sale just missed the boat and is asking $40, then no...I'm not about to draw attention to it or myself.  I'd pay the $40, and scoot. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
