I like it when it's easy. For instance - something I want (but don't "need to have") on Poshmark. I will almost always offer a much lower price. They will always come back and either say yes, or offer to split the difference. So that's not a problem.
On the other hand, I was in Burma once, and negotiating with an obviously poor roadside seller of...well, I can't really remember.
What I do remember is I tried to negotiate, and then later asked a Burmese friend if I had gotten a good deal.
He said something along the lines of "when they're so poor like this seller was, we don't really negotiate."
Made me feel about 1 inch tall.

Oh man I just lived that through your story. I guess always negotiating can be as bad as never negotiating.

Postmark? I am impressed!
I think women are more effective negotiators because they are better at lying
Am I crazy and sexist for thinking this way?
