No. Haggling has zero appeal and makes me feel like an asshole. I want a set price that is predefined, and I want the purchase process to have minimal friction. I don’t want to have to argue with someone when I buy things.

No and I hate that its expected and I hate when people do it to me. I price my items at what I want for them, I am not playing head games where I price them above what I actually want so you can feel like you’re winning when you haggle me down, thats what everyone else in the resale space does and I find it stupid and manipulative. Just pay what it cost or find something cheaper, price what you want to get for it and stop pricing way above asking so you can have “wiggle room” to negotiate and make people feel like they are getting a good deal. Its like playing a game, when all I want is to exchange money for goods.

I don’t need to try hard every single transaction in my life. Contact me when you are satisfied with your circle jerk haggle powers and you are ready to share the real price with me.

I find it frustrating and annoying. I am willing to pay extra just to not do it

I’ve traveled a bit and so appreciate the culture of haggling. One time while in Panamá I needed an SD card. The Baroness is from there, so we were out with a few cousins going to the mall and big box stores. Of course everywhere was charging like 3x what it would cost in the US. So at the last shop I just laid it out that I could get the $45 card for $15 in the US so asked if they’d take like $25 or something. She was a little confused as haggling isn’t super common, at least in the modern shops. So she went to go check with the manager. He came out from the back. Indian guy. He just looked at me, the only white guy around, and was just like “yeah we can do that.” Had a look to him like he appreciated the encounter. On the way out one of the cousins was gobsmacked that it worked, like he had just witnessed real life magic.
