[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get why anyone thinks it is insulting to the seller to haggle. They can always say no to an offer of a lower price.[/quote] When you haggle with someone, you are inherently devaluing their work and the time that went into it. Next time you're thinking of haggling, look at the price, think about how many hours might have gone into making it, the likely out-of-pocket costs (both for the materials and the stall cost for the show/market), and then calculate the hourly rate you're suggesting their time is worth. Most crafters at craft shows and markets are already making peanuts on an hourly basis, when you try to drive the price down further, you're basically telling them their time and talent are worthless.[/quote]
