Default Do You 'Barter'?

If something you want to buy is a certain price, do you try and haggle to get the price lower? Does it make a difference if the item you want is from a private seller or in a shop?

Personally, I will always pay the asking price if I think it is fair, although I might ask for a discount if I was buying multiple items. I get so embarrassed talking about money though, it's horrible!

its not often i haggle, or get haggled, tbh. I have never asked a shop to lower its prices, as its the same as asking tesco to cut 10% off the trolly of shopping you have picked. You want it, you pay it, is what i say. I have asked for a multi deal before in the past, but that was for 15 snakes.

no,... you never have to pay attention to anyone unless they are sensible and respectful. any kid that thinks he's all that is mistaken and should be put in his place.

I regularly get "cos I know ya" discount, but I never ask for it. TBH, I go in prepared to pay a set price, if it's higher, I'll reconsider, if its too high, I dont bother.

Bartering is swapping goods for other goods of equal value

I haggle almost everywhere, especially on larger purchases .

I will haggle if I am think the price is a bit high or if I am buying more than one animal.

If I think the price is fair then no, I will just pay the asking price.

If you dont haggle then you dont get. If its an item I would really wanted I would only haggle if i could afford the asking price incase they said no!!
Theres no point haggleing if you cant afford the asking price in the first place.
If they agree then RESULT!!
