Not necessarily. But the problem is the people who take it too far and just stretch it out for weeks over, say $50 bucks. In the long run it truly isn’t worth it. As airy fairy as it sounds, I think money is a form of energy and you have to spend some to continue the flow! People who hang on to it like they’ll never have any more….will never have any more!

.. but then , i guess your whole point was that you like the CONCEPT of no haggle fixed prices…much the same way that I like the CONCEPT of “getting what you pay for”. Do you really think that haggling with someone over price is tantamount to treating them poorly?

…sorry Weez… can’t agree with you on this one. With the advent of that wonderful thing called the internet, any kind of information is now widely available, including manufacturing costs and retail mark-ups, a lot of which are absolutely ridiculous for name brand items. As for the used car salesman,.. well he seems like a fictitious character to me. When was the last time you tried to trade in a used car for a new one? The trade-in value offered is, more often than not, less than half the actual value of the car. If your car dealership “friend” is only making $100 on the sale of a used car, i would have to ask why the hell he bothers!
