I always haggle for large goods (freezers, TV's, etc), and have never yet failed to get at least £20 off the listed value for goods over £100. It helps to be paying cash. Not tried haggling for a service yet.

Some companies have tried to tell me that haggling is illegal (its not). They have caved in the end too. In the end, we both get what we want. They get my money, and I get a cheaper price. Whats the harm in that?
It must be me but if you can't afford it then you don't have it.
