I don't generally do a lot of haggling at shows. I do usually spend A LOT of time talking to someone about an animal, enough time that I either get OFFERED an original discount, or get a repeat customer discount. If I can't afford an animal I'll offer to do a payment plan.

I'm not a good haggler (or a good poker player for that matter ) What I will do is ask if a breeder will go half on shipping through (basically knock 25.00 off or so). I've had good success with that.
