    I agree - I enjoy hagglers - not because I'm going to give them the
    price break (Maybe I will;...maybe I won't ) But because I admire the
    fact that they had the guts to ask. I like the game. For some reason
    I find it more human & personal & it relaxes me to deal with someone
    like that.. I certaintly don't take it personally. I like to haggle
    myself; it's good business to get stuff for as little as possible,
    yes?. Don't we all love a bargain, or love someone in business; say a
    supplier; who is willing to work with us? Its got the human touch.
    Kind of like the old days when a handshake was enough to seal a deal.
