When the full price is too much...

I'm a pro at haggling. I have all the tricks worked out and even have code words with my husband as part of the performance. His favourite technique is to throw some money at me (the amount he knows is my target price) and storm out saying he's had 'enough of all this nonsense' and then he leaves the shop and hides down the road whilst I tell the shop keeper that's all I've got and I don't have much time. So far it worked every time and was really good fun.

know the value 'f the merchandise 'head 'f time. i've e'n bought power tools from lowe's coz i've gone in with print-outs (yepperz, i've a dumb phone...) 'f what others're sellin' it fer. most places'll typically match it if'n ya get the head'f the department. the 'underlings' 've no say in the matter.

I prefer to go where there are fixed prices. If I like something I will buy as I would be ready to spend that much

At the public market when i see that the merchants are so poor looking , i don't haggle anymore for the produce they are selling . At least i am helping them that way for having an income .

I am hopeless at haggling and I find it an odd practice anyway as you are only dropping the seller to the price he is willing to sell for anyway though no doubt some would sell to us at the higher price if we just accepted the deal and didn't try to haggle - I prefer to see a price tag up front.

I don't mind someone haggling to get a better price but as you said sometimes its not appropriate like in a department store when it has a set price. I can understand when the item is damaged that is a little different but when it is in perfect condition and retailed appropriately it bugs me a bit. Like walmart for example has fairly priced stuff but if they happen to have something for sale and it is damaged they will discount it more if you ask.

I have haggled for a few things but my hubby enjoys haggling so now he does all of he haggling on the items that we can haggle on.

Sometimes I rather go to the places where nobody can haggle. At least I know that everyone pays the same price as me, and I will not feel bad thinking that I have overpaid.

I hate haggle. It's not that I have so much money or anything else, it's just hard for me to do it. Sometimes I feel pity to the seller to haggle a price. But when I don't haggle then people told me I can actually get half price for this stuff, it makes feel bit disappointed. Then I never haggle anymore because I'm not good on it. I rely on husband to do it. He is good on it, though sometimes he can haggle too much which makes feel guilty watching the seller's face -but he always win!

I always haggle to half the price :) haha!

I am really bad at haggling.. They always cheat me.. I prefer to buy stuff online.

We don't have that here

yes, haggle with price when you think it is necessary especially in flea market or other stores that sold merchandise except for malls or supermarkets where they have a fixed price already.

I am always trying my best to haggle if I feel that the price is too much :)

Like you said, you have to know when to haggle. For instance, it can come in handy when you are buying a car.

I know that when buying a car that the sticker price is never the price...you gotta haggle!

I'm horrible at haggling so I don't really bother with it. Plus most of the places I shop at are ones where you don't haggle, like a department store.
