Unless its a yard sale or buying a used car where people are greatly misinformed about how much their crap is actually worth, haggling is usually seen as a brown thing in the modern world is my best guess.
The only time I see people haggle outside of a garage sale has been Indian.
This is the most retarded thing I’ve ever read. Either you’ve never worked in sales, or you constantly overpay for everything.
News flash, nearly every company owned store has wiggle room, often 5-15% that you can get taken off, and you should absolutely do what you can to get that taken off. Because fuck sales tax.
Second, if you aren’t checking for cheaper prices on online and then demanding a price match, something all major companies offer, you’re just cheating yourself.
Lastly, you specified “used car.” Are you expecting me to believe you pay sticker price for a new car? Including all the dealership markups and crap you don’t need like vin etching and tracking devices out in without your consent? Fuck no. You better force those assholes to take at least a grand off the MSRP of the car and demand that as your out the door cost.
Weak people like you who think “only brown people get a deal” are exactly the kind of consumer sheep corporations want.
Literally any major purchase, an appliance, furniture, a mattress, a car, should be haggled down. The listed price is their starting but definitely not the lowest. Literally just two weeks ago I bought a $4000 MSRP mattress for less than $1500, and that came with a free protector, sheets, and a new bed frame. Why? Because the mattress was probably like $1000 for them to buy and the still make a $500 profit even when discounting it heavily.
Here’s the basically rule of thumb when buying anything, if the salesperson is in a bad mood, that means you got a deal.
The only two things you should never haggle down is food and contraceptive. You don’t want to anger the person handling your food, and you don’t want to risk expired contraceptives.
And even then, you should be exploiting the fuck out of coupons and rewards programs for discounts on food.
