How do you negotiate for stuff that have momentary value?
#9
Aw man.. haggling is so fun. I was at Cancun last month, and pretty much everyone in Mexico will haggle (Even if there's a set price). I haggled some cheap ass necklace that was up for 25 dollars down to the four dollars it was worth. I talked with this nervous motherf'ucker for an HOUR. I kept bringing up how a necklace of this material wasn't worth jack sh'it, and he eventually ran out of ways to back himself up. Eventually, he agreed to lower down the price by four more dollars if I went to the lounge area of the hotel and got him a cheeseburger (Not even kidding; food in the hotel I was at was free so I got that little b'itch the burger he didn't deserve).
Got myself this little necklace that could be picked up at any Ron Jon Surf Shop for like 4 bucks. Feels good man.

Anyways, it's all about keeping a straight face, knowing what you're talking about, and staying calm and fluent in your speaking. Never pause or make it seem like you lost your words, and always look that f'ucker straight in the eye like he just made a joke about your mother and if he doesn't give you what you want you're going to kill off members of his family one by one. Basically, just come up with lies and put up a convincing bravado.
