[b:a7d6dd0308][i:a7d6dd0308]Started to post this in another thread, but didn't want to hijack that thread. So, here's my reply:[/i:a7d6dd0308]
[/b:a7d6dd0308]
I normally don't haggle on prices. When/where I grew up, haggling was left for "south of the border"! If I think someone is asking too much, I simply do not reply to the ad. If someone doesn't put a price in the ad, I don't reply as I've got better things to do with my time than call around asking folks how much they want for such-and-such that they have advertised for sale. Don't waste my time and I won't waste yours.
A decade ago (maybe a bit more) I heard about people who won't even pay retail price for things in a retail store such as Wal-Mart. Really? Yes, I know there is a markup. Yes, I know things go on sale now and then. But seriously, do any of you actually know someone like this?[/i]

(quoted from post at 18:10:18 03/18/17) DO you pay full asking price for everything you buy???
