My questions is: 1. Is that the lowest price you have? 2. Is there a cheaper price elsewhere? (Google search to verify) 3. Yes? See ya ... 4. No? I'll think about it. Step 3 is a huge problem. First off, haggling requires a degree of exclusivity, either a) real: you're the only selling it, or b) imagined: you make someone believe you're the only one selling it. If 3a is the case, awesome. If 3b is the case, you can easily be caught lying to the customer, never a good place to be in. There are acceptable lies (called marketing) and unacceptable lies (pretty much everything else). You don't want to get caught in the everything else. It's an interesting idea (I can see a couple of use cases for it), but otherwise, I'd avoid haggling prices on the web.
