And can you walk away when you don't get down to a deal you like?
I've been doing this since I was a kid, trading toys and cards and stuff. It's not that hard. Offer/counteroffer, and when you reach the point where neither will move, shake hands and wish each other luck. Even showing you can walk away is a haggling tactic.
I watched a friend do some business today, and his haggling skills were kind of pathetic. I was actually embarassed.
