    If you or your organization does wholesale and retail sales there is
    no reason why you cannot arrive at a new price somewhere above the
    wholesale price and below the retail price. 

    You don't have to see it as an insult but rather as a compliment
    when someone tries to haggle. They like the piece enough to consider
    buying it after all. Maybe they just cant justify (to themselves)
    paying full price due to economic constraints. 

    My wife and I routinely offer a discount for family members. We
    extend this discount to friends and frequently repeating customers.
    But we do everything ourselves at this point. We don't have
    employees. We wouldn't be giving their wages away. 

    Once I told someone in our booth "if you see something you like,
    feel free to make an offer" She said "What are you? Jewish!". She
    wasn't nice about it. 

    Teaser on NBC News as I write this "Why Haggling is making a comeback
    in surprising places".
