At a swap meet or garage sale most people expect you to haggle. That is part of the game. You can tell pretty quick if they're not into it becuse they say no to your offer. Most of the people I buy stuff from are just trying to get rid of it. They're more than happy to bargain. Especially if you buy all the boxes of "computer junk" they have. On the other hand there's a lady who hauls out an old Amiga 500 without power supply or mouse every week and is "Firm at $100". Someday she'll figure it out. (usually $5-$10 at Goodwill) I recall a stubborn seller a few years back. I was searching for a collectible Coke machine. I called a guy that had one for $1000. I mentioned making an offer once I had seen it and he told me he was "firm" on $1000 and seemed insulted. Well, before I could get there to check it out, a fellow collector drove down there within an hour and hauled it away for $200! Funny thing is that at the time I was ready to fork out at least $600 for it! You can never tell what people are thinking.
