[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The no haggle thing is strictly an American thing. [b] I work with people from all over the world and everywhere else the belief is that the first price/price tag is a starting point.[/quote][/b] 1. Haggling is NOT the custom "everywhere else." It was NOT the custom in the two Western European countries in which I lived. 2. Haggling at street markets is very much the custom in the country where I live now. This country is also hideously corrupt and filthy. I wouldn't ever cite the fact that people haggle here as a reason that someone should try it at home. 3. I think haggling with an artist over his work is breathtakingly gauche. I think this every time I see someone do it where I live, and I see this almost every day. 4. I will never understand posters who cite the customs of other countries to lend credence to their argument about something that is done in the US. [/quote]
