I enjoy the haggling stuff. If someone is genuinely interested in what I'm selling, I will usually work with them. I price my stuff fairly and usually get it. But if they're being a jerk and offer a lower price just to see how much of a sucker I am, and I sense they're not really interested, I'll counter with a price that exceeds my original asking price. "I'll give you $2700 for the bike." "Well, I'm asking $3100 but I'll take $3400." After they lose the dumbfounded look from their face, they come to realize that my asking price is just as arbitrary as their offer, so we meet halfway and I get my original price. Or they walk.
