I haggle for all my trade needs even when the price is good, as they ask for money I say "sorry, HOW MUCH??" I just can't help it, it comes out even when I don't mean it to.

Another favorite one of mine is if I go into a supplier that isn't my normal one but closer to a job that i might be on, pick something up - put it on the counter and ask how much, then walk away but stay just in ear shot (only just though so it's not obvious) and ring my normal supplier and ask for my prices on said product. Then go back to the counter and say "don't worry mate" and turn to leave. They nearly always say "hang on let me look at the prices again" It's a risky move as you may have to drive to the other side of town, so it always helps to have some one in the motor with you to go and buy it if you fail!

I would'nt haggle in Tesco for example, but buying cars or buying stuff from independant shops is fair game. In many ways you do not need to haggle because of the internet. I use cashback websites. I use special codes & coupons. I print off vouchers for 50% off meals etc. I last haggled in the pound shop. I bought 16 pairs of work gloves and I said I'll give you £15. He said no. They were a great deal anyway so I gave him the full money.
