My dad haggled for a used fridge ffs. Paid cash, knocked like 100 bucks off lol. People haggle, you just got to know when
A middle ground which I think most Whites find appealing vs middle eastern bazaar antics, is shooting them an offer.
Musicians buying used gear do this all the time, in fact it's an option on Reverb. Because a lot of hobbyists don't get that I'm not buying a guitar that went new for $500 that's still in production with a return policy & a warranty, for $475 just because you have buyer's remorse.
I got about tree fiddy. Better than passes and laughs, bub.
My dad sold used cars for a bit after the divorce. Even before that, he said to a very young me, "son, I can tell you what anything on planet Earth is worth."
"No way! How, dad?" Sounded like magic or something.
"Any given item is worth exactly what you can get some idiot to pay for it when you're selling it."
After the bit on the lot, he added the zinger: "there's an Ass for every Seat."
We have a line in the family that only recently got obliterated by time & inflation, for used cars that run & drive but have issues we're sick of dealing with: "$650, Runs Great!" Tell em what it needs and give it the ol' "I'm tired of looking at this" price. Works every time. You add like a paycheck to that and buy something better, guy who had no wheels gets something rolling for cheap, everyone wins.
