I don't like doing so. I don't want to have to be fake-friendly with people just to get the 'best' price on something, and leave feeling like I could probably have paid less if I'd just negotiated harder. It's too much mental effort and I don't find there's any mental reward to the process. It doesn't feel like I got "a deal" it feels like the business or individual I negotiated with is probably trying to rip me off, and probably succeeded. I'll get the best price by businesses competing with each other for my custom. Or I won't. Either way 'haggling' is alien to me and I prefer the world to be more straightforward.
