On the contrary, almost all big ticket items are negotiated. It's just cars are the most frequently encountered big ticket item for the average person.
- sokoloff 8y agoExactly right. I negotiated hard on both houses I bought and pretty regularly (as a percentage of transactions) negotiate on Craigslist or Ebay type purchases. I've negotiated salary at every job I've taken after my first one. Many (perhaps more than half) of my business contracts are also negotiated as well. You don't have to negotiate these things if you're willing to take the other side's initial offer; it's probably financially materially in your favor to not do that though...
