Haggling

[mrs_overall]

How many of you haggle when you buy something?
In the past month I have successfully haggled in PC World, a jewellers and an antiques shop.

I have to mention I am from Yorkshire and therefore it is a genetic trait

Nope, I pay the price on the tag. My Nonna, however, was Queen of haggling. She used to tell me off anytime I went to the fruit market in Italy and paid the full price for peaches! lol She was so good, Ryanair used to waive the fee for her overweight luggage! lol

Curious that we have a convention that we haggle on buying cars and houses, the two most expensive things one ever has (apart from a daughter; right, dads?). We don't, in Britain, do it with anything else, with the possible exception of antiques.

I do a deal on anything when possible. I used not to on hotels, but my ex taught me how to, turning up with no booking, late in the day, never expecting 5* to reduce price (they have an image to keep, but will always give upgrades and free meals; find trivial complaints about every room until they give you a suite for the price of a small room) The other grades just reduce price; late in the day, if they still have rooms, what chance have they of of a booking at all, apart from yours?
