usually, if i'm hunting for a 'can't-be-found' part, and I do luck up and find one, and i'm only buying a single thig.. I generally go with asking price if I feel it is reasonable.
Now.. if I am buying multiple parts, or am contemplating buying multiple parts, I don't feel bad asking if there is any discount available for volume / quantity.
All they can do is say no. I ask politely and have almost always been politely answered.
more often than not if buying multiple things you usually get some sort of discount, even if it is only on combined shipping. or someties and extra thrown in.

if I'm buying a used part that is available from 2sources, and I frequent one more often, but the part is a lil mor ethere, I will usually make that known that 'x' down the road has it 10$ cheaper, care to match it? or even meet half way?
again.. politeness usually goes along way and all they can do is say no.
on the other hand.. I sometimes don't mind paying a few more percent to a source that has helped me out in the past.. IE.. keep yer business with who takes care of you.. etc.
good luck
ps.. I'm just envious that you have such a nice salvage yard close. we had a big one here that closed 9ys ago...
