You try to drop the price, it goes up. You complain about the price, it goes up. You insult me, it goes up. You annoy me, it goes up. If value my time, then I value your business. If you don't value my time, then I don't value your business. I've been at this for almost two years, and I set the rules. Not you."
I love this one!

I just try to keep it direct and get straight to the point. 'Cause we all know subtlety is lost on the guys who go "d00fzerz! i ned slic!!1!!1!shift1!!!"

If they can role play, then they can haggle, I just don't say that. Why would a "businessman" like myself wanna let them know there's a way to drop the price?

Of course, there's always this way to get people to stop:
"I'll 'slice' your damned EYEBALL outta its socket if ya don't leave me the hell alone!"

I just /smile and shut up and let them stare at me till they agree or walk away. It takes far less energy.

I just have people tip me what they feel the slice is worth, end of story.
If they tip low I remember that but most are generous and pay me more than what I would have asked.
There is less aggrivation and actually I make more

I have my prices listed and a more friendly way of stating my aversion to price controversy. I just put all prices are negotiable. If they piss me off I negotiate up. But most of the time the people that piss me off never get to the part where I am holding the item.
