I have been known to ask for a lower price if there are similar quality animals going for less. As a buyer I look at the market price, then I look for the BEST example of the animal I can find.

If it's priced at market or a bit above & is exceptional- I don't haggle. They've already discounted it to offer it at or near market value IMHO. I already know from a breeder standpoint all they've put into producing that animal.

But if buying I'm buying more than one animal I do ask about group purchases because it costs less to send & it's something I do myself.
