I always ask any way. No harm in trying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-non-negotiable-mean-anything-to-you#post-434138 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 09:34:11 +0000 mynoahbear 434138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: it's even more exhausting in Asia, where you're expected to haggle over everything. It was fun when we first moved to Asia but now, it's just annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-non-negotiable-mean-anything-to-you#post-434134 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 09:33:21 +0000 Arden 434134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I think it's funny that you consider that a Western culture thing.<br /> I experienced WAY more crazy haggling in Eastern Europe and the Middle East than Western Europe or the USA. I think it's quite tame here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-non-negotiable-mean-anything-to-you#post-434123 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 09:27:24 +0000 yoursilverlining 434123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like to haggle for things, except those where haggling is expected - like car buying (then it's fun!). When I'm selling something online and put in "non-negotiable" or "firm price" and someone starts the haggling process I won't sell to them on principle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-non-negotiable-mean-anything-to-you#post-434121 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 09:26:31 +0000 winniebee 434121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Means nothing to me, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-non-negotiable-mean-anything-to-you#post-434117 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 09:24:41 +0000 mrbee 434117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I believe in making one fair offer, no haggling!</p> <p>I hate all the negotiation that happens in western culture! People start off with ridiculous offers then negotiate from there... exhausting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-non-negotiable-mean-anything-to-you#post-432559 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 09:00:00 +0000 autumnlove 432559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think most things are negotiable so seeing non negotiable means very little to me! It never hurts to ask! </p>
