Haggling, who does it?

[Daniel Jiggins]

Haggling is ok before you have reached an agreement as either party can say no thanks and walk away, Haggling after a job has been done to specification is lowest of the low.

A minority of general public try it

Never I ask a price if it's to high walk away if they want I sell they ask how much I'll pay take it of leave it. I would not have the cheek to haggle at the suppliers as I know there some if the best prices in the country.

British to the core me

Re. The first two sentences. Isn't that haggling?

I came to the end of my energy contracts with Eon and British gas for the house.

Suddenly because I had not renegotiated a new contract I found that the electric was over 20p/unit and the gas was 9p/therm. Spent the morning on the phone, takes ages and can be stressful but the result was Eon took on my electric and gas combined. Electric at 11p and gas 3.5p.

Do I feel guilty about haggling? Not me.

I will haggle if I'm buying second hand, I will not haggle if i'm selling (why on earth give away profit?) and will NEVER haggle over price on a tree job.

 

I paid full price for a beard in a bazaar - but it was new.

Not in my book as most people hold there ground the ones that who are few and far between but need to sell

[Hotrod81]

Got to haggle. Being a tight Scot it is in my genes. However you have to realise that the person selling has got to live also. Secret is starting with a number that is low but not low enough to insult them. At end of the day seller won't be losing money if they are they won't be in business long.

[Tim Stobart Tree Surgery]

I love haggling, but wish my customers wouldn't.

[Mountain man]

I reckon a lot of people say they won't haggle but will "negotiate"
