Do you haggle with every purchase?

only with hookers

If it's a cash purchase, absolutely every time. You have to realize most people selling items for cash are looking for a quick buck and when you show them a wad of cash, they will fold at a lesser offer

People that haggle (outside of huge purchases like cars, furniture, etc where it's socially acceptable) are the fricking worst.

During my undergrad I worked at an electronics store and we'd get these dregs of society come in and try and fight for two hours to get us to knock 20% off a mouse pad. Like bitch, this thing only costs $5. Why are you doing this?

The haggle shite is why I stopped selling things on Craigslist. I'd try to blow something out at a ridiculous price just to get rid of it, like a barely used set of tires for $50 with the ad reading "WILL NOT LOWER PRICE. FIRM OFFER." Then people'd show up and be like, "Eh...I'll give you $15 for the four tires." This, after I told them over the phone the price was firm.

The only thing I've haggled over are cars and houses

I don't do this ever, even with cars.

This, actually.

I do all my research and go into each vehicle purchase with a set amount of what I'll take for my trade in and what I'll pay for the new truck. You'll either take the offer or I'll move on instantly if not. This haggling shite is ghetto on both sides.

No I'm not Hispanic.

Haggling is for poors

Exactly. Lot of times I tell my personal assistant to have the sales person round up to the nearest $100 so I don't have to deal with change.

My bank offers this as a service. It's awesome. I might have to drive 50 miles to pick up the car, but it's worked out great twice.

No.

And when I was in retail, asking for a discount was a sure way to get on my non-preferred customers list.

frick Pawn Stars and what they have wrought.
