Haggling over price is half the fun of buying something. It's a fine art in the far East. I start out by asking if there is a discount for Seniors. Then for Veterans. Then for disabled, then for just about anything I can think of. Like "llama owner" or something strange. If no luck there then I go to the old bait and switch.
