    You can haggle, as long as you do it nicely. If you walk up, sneer at the animals and say "I can get better ones than these way cheaper." Then I wouldn't expect you to get anything but a boot to the rear. LOL. And... yes, I've seen people do that. Not that I think YOU would... but it's funny what some people think will get them lower prices.

    But a lot of sellers will negociate for cheaper. Last year I got a $110 gecko + 500 crickets for $70. I didn't OFFER $70. It was sunday and I asked to see a gecko, saw the price, and happened to say "I only have $70 to spend...." and he offered it to me for $70. When I hesitated, saying well... I do have to get some crickets too... he pulled out a box of crix to add to it for free. I never expected such a deal, and wouldn't have ever "low-balled" his prices. I was more thinking that he might have a different gecko at a lower price, not that I'd get THAT gecko so low.

    So a lot of sellers will lower prices or do group deals. Some will be firm on prices. If I ask if they'd take $XX, and they say no, then I usually compliment the animal and then move on. Being polite and complimenting someone's animals NEVER hurts.

    By the way, I'll have a Wolfyhound name tag on. If you see me.. say Hi!
