These people don't get to afford BMWs by paying £4 for their toddler tricycles.
Mrs. P is good at haggling, does it all the time. I just get embarrassed and move away while she chips away at the price. I've never haggled in my life - I'd be so bad at it I'd end up paying more than the original price
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

Reminds me of the closest I ever came to haggling, it was at a Turkish market. I saw this leather belt with a Harley Davidson buckle, and thought it might be a nice gift for my Harley-riding mate.
But after picking it up and handling it I changed my mind. The seller saw this and told me the price was 60 lira. I'd known this mate since I was 14, but no way was he worth that. So I moved away. The trader snatched up the belt and followed me through the market, incrementally decreasing the asking price while I repeatedly told him I wasn't interested. Eventually, with his stall a distant speck on the horizon, I paid him 5 lira, just to be rid of him.
Even though it was a genuine fake, it was still leather and probably cost less than a quid.

He didn't haggle, just turned it down. So no sale. The trike was easily worth double - his loss. But no problem - it will be sold another day.These people don't get to afford BMWs by paying £4 for their toddler tricycles.

My partner is very good at haggling, whereas I'm hopeless at it: if I'm happy with the asking price, that is what I will pay, regardless of whether it's a bargain or not.

Brightened up now after a grey start, 16c and set to get a couple of degrees warmer with no rain forecast.
