Haggling prices at shows....What's your take

[SlitherinSisters]

Our Iowa show is in a couple weeks and I was just thinking about how people love to haggle prices. I'll admit I'm a haggler, but I haven't been comfortable with the idea of haggling in the ball python world with snakes that are more than fairly priced. I was talking with some people after the Tinley show and they couldn't believe I paid asking price. I was a bit taken back because the prices were more than fair. For an easy example, if someone has a nice pastel female and they want $150 I'm not about to offer them a lower price. Call me crazy, but I consider it an insult to the breeder when they already have the animal priced low. Even if the price is a tad higher than average, if the animal is better quality than average how can you argue?

So anyhow, where do you stand? Do you haggle all prices at shows, does it depend, or do you just pay the asking price if it's reasonable?
