Do you haggle?

Only for cars and real estate.  I knocked a few thousand off the price of a car I bought yesterday, for example.  Furniture is also fair game.  Anything else, I don't feel it's appropriate.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

What about for services like a plumbing, auto-repair, electrical installation and repair etc?

They give you the appearance of haggling.  It's called an "estimate".

Worthless yet expensive knickknacks the wife sets her eye on?

I dont often haggle on everyday items but I do often get deals presented to me.  I like to shop at the same butcher, baker, green grocer etc. and they are always giving me special deals.

On bigger ticket items I always haggle.
