Did you realize that many times you can still
haggle over paying full list price? The key to
haggling is knowing what the true value is of what you are trying to negotiate a price on, and also be willing to walk away if the answer is no. Quite often walking away will prompt a second consideration of your offer, but not always. Keep in mind that haggling is not always about getting something for less, but often getting them to throw someting extra in. For example, you could ask a car dealership to throw in undercoating and seat protectant for no extra cost. Keep you cool, stay polite and simply remember that the wost they can say is no.
