Are you ready to haggle?

A little blurb from BIG Research's latest American Pulse survey of 4,055 adults regarding concerns over the economny:

"One way consumers appear to be coping with pressures on the family budget is by learning a new shopping skill – haggling for price. According to the survey, half of Americans (50.3%) report having negotiated for better prices on products other than a home or vehicle in light of the current economic situation. Americans say they haggle the most for better costs on tires/batteries/auto repair (38.6%), followed by appliances (37.3%) and electronics (37.2%)."

Can't imagine many retailers would like to see this develop as a trend.
