Haggling: at multi-dealer malls the front desk can radio the booth owner for an offer — 10–15% off marked price is normal and expected on furniture and larger items. Smalls under $20 rarely move. Ask about a dealer discount if you resell, and always ask whether the price includes delivery on big pieces.
