I don't think I would ever have the nerve to bargin for anything. Not even when buying a car. The seller says what he or she want, and I pay up. Ha ha. Not even in countries on vacation where it is the norm to "argue" about the price can I do it Hopeless case, I know it.
I don't think there should ve a problem with asking for a reduction in price especially if it's a bigger order.If you have history with a vendor all they can say is unfortunately that's the price but when I've asked ive been offered a reduction.I wouldn't with all sources btw only my "trusted" source when the order was larger.
I typically don't negotiate prices with SY vendors. I try to keep an outstanding relationship which on occasion gets me upgraded shipping or some freebies.
I use the same philosophy with thing like mu high end audio. I purposely pay retail because I want to be taken care of during and after the sale.
I have done it one time only because the amount of this particular subscription was substantially high. The vendor (who shall remain nameless) agreed and I ended up saving around $400. It was a one time thing though,
I have negotiated before, when I was in the middle of my addictions!!! I didn't have much Dough so I asked for cheaper price,just though you keep the bartering low enough! Most will deal with you. You need to be very polite and ask nicely.

@SeaDonkey I think everyone deserves a second chance. I worked all night so eclipsing my life away… I do love stargazing and a telescope is high on my list of things to do when I’m high!
