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!

Once, in New York City, I haggled the opposite direction for fun, because I was annoyed about being harassed

Guy was trying to sell me a watch so I asked
"How much?"

For you? $15

"Nah, too cheap" I replied

uhh... O-okay, $20!

"Hmm, how about $25?"

okay yes yes, $25!

"No. $40"

okayyy good deal $40 for you!!

"No way, that's too expensive"- I turned around and started walking away

huh? Oh- no! $20! $15! Ten! F-five dollars for you!
