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!
If someone posted a second-hand item a month or two ago and it’s still available I’ll make an offer. All they have to do is say no.
Some people don’t quite get pricing and that they seem to want to hang onto their junk (they are selling) rather than let it go for a reasonable price.
One guy had a B/G router on Craigslist for the price of a new AC/X router. I sent a helpful message “hey these sell for $5 because they are obsolete, at your price nobody will buy that except a grandma that knows nothing about WiFi.”
He replied with a tirade of nasty insults, that I ignored. Few days later he emails against asking if I want it for $10.
I replied that I don’t want it , it is obsolete, I was trying to help so you don’t sit on it without a sale. And he replied with more swearing and insults.
3 months later I see it still for sale, and still too high. So I could not resist a little “I told you so” message.
