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!

No and I hate that its expected and I hate when people do it to me. I price my items at what I want for them, I am not playing head games where I price them above what I actually want so you can feel like you're winning when you haggle me down, thats what everyone else in the resale space does and I find it stupid and manipulative. Just pay what it cost or find something cheaper, price what you want to get for it and stop pricing way above asking so you can have "wiggle room" to negotiate and make people feel like they are getting a good deal. Its like playing a game, when all I want is to exchange money for goods.
