I haggle on pre-owned firearms because they probably bought the gun for 50% or less what than what they are selling it. I only haggle on new guns if its priced unreasonably and even then I'm more likely to walk out and find it somewhere else.
Someobody showed me that clip awhile ago. The owner of the gun shop got pissed for a little of a reason in my opinion. Maybe not to the point he should have thrown a temper tantrum but.....turns out he was initially not a fan of having them come in and film that transaction because he had a feeling they would try to haggle him down on camer because of the nature of the show (pawn shop reality)........and that being on camery would have him more inclined to give them a better deal. The "customer" aka "hardcore pawn" swore he was not going to haggle and they just wanted to video them buying guns for "protection" and then he went and asked for discounts anyway. Whatever......drama.Sometimes it does ...
I buy & sell a great deal of reloading items. I don't act like a f*cking dink when I am buying, but I like to get a fair price. When selling, I am always out to make a deal, as long as the buyer isn't acting like a f*cking dink.
Don't be a f*cking dink about it, and you should be all set.

I usually pay what people ask if I know it to be fair. If someone has the price jacked up assuming someone will haggle or is stupid, that's usually a turn-off for me. I don't enjoy wheeling and dealing, but understand it's a personality trait of others.It is easier to negotiate in the real rather than the theoretical. There is a difference between "will you take $500 for that gun" and "I'll take it now if you give it to me for $500". Show you are ready to buy, and you may be taken seriously.
Hotels as pretty much standard policy will let a room stay vacant before they negotiate at the front desk - because they know that once the word gets out they negotiate, everyone will be demanding a deal. Similarly some shops will not negotiate and let a "good for them" deal go for the same reason.
