I usually try as well. Sometimes it works, more times it doesn't. It almost always comes with an odd look or the great big "you just added a lot more work to my day" sigh. I usually go after the "last years model" or "clearance" type items, iphone in hand to demonstrate the current retail value. The most they'll ever do is knock a few percent off and offer me a free cable or something. Their best offers are almost always still ludicrously beyond the reasonable current price. Trying for more gets us a little session at the Altar of the Wyse Terminal, followed by a shrug and "It won't let me do that". Even when the manager is involved. I'm hoping that bargaining in retail stores will become both common, fruitful, and a socially expected norm.
