Haggling is just not common practice in North America. So stores and consumers are not used to it. You’d feel silly haggling if every store refused and gave you a funny look. It makes you feel cheap. A lot of people are willing to overspend to avoid potential embarrassment.

Bargaining helps you buy things at their true worth. You don’t haggle you pay up an amount the item’s not worth. Its so foolish. God knows why people find haggling embarrassing.

Many times I’ve been able to buy articles at half their quoted prices by bargaining.

Good tips for haggling. It is very common practice to haggle in most areas outside of the Western world. The problem is that a lot of people do not know how to haggle and get intimidated by it. My girlfriend recently purchased a car, but she insisted on bringing me along knowing that she would not be able to negotiate aggressively enough. The trick is to know which industries & businesses are more likely to allow haggling. Some places will just look at you funny if you try to negotiate a better price.
