    FIRM - This is the price I want and please don't haggle

    OBO - Or Best Offer - I will take a lower

    OBRO - Or Best Reasonable Offer - I will take a little lower, but please don't try and Low Ball me.

    I hate haggling. So to me it is bad business to tack on a few dollars and expect a haggle. You may easily price yourself out of selling to someone like me.

    If you have listed something for a price I'm willing to pay I will show up with all of the cash. As long as it is what you said it was condition wise I will leave and you will never hear from me again.

    I don't go to a store and expect to haggle.

    I expect to sell the same way. The last time I was going to sell something it was because someone asked to buy a game. I gave him the exact same price I bought it for even though the value had gone up. He kept insisting on knocking off $100. At the end of his continued attempt to haggle I told him he can never buy from me ever. Even if I list a game and he is willing to pay full price I just don't trust him to not play games with me again. I have no temperament for someone who plays games with me. He has apologized and says that is the way he does things. He says "the chase" is the fun part of buying games for him. I said that's fine, but I will never sell to him and he knows not to even ask.
