What would the point be? After a lot of back and forth, we end up where we do. There is an issue of time so if your time is worthless, you are right. Haggle for everything. I just ask you what your best price is and I take it or leave it unless it is a large item like a house or car.
I can make $8 an hour at Mcdonnalds or bagging groceries at Wal*Mart. So by haggling with you for an hour, the $10 item now cost $18. Even if I get it for $5, it is now $13. You give me a price and I take it or leave it.
