my rule of thumb is - bargain and haggle. there's nothing to lose and the worst that could happen is the buyer will say 'NO'. i am always polite when i bargain. i tell them what price i want and will ask them politely what is their lowest price. when i do inquire thru email, 99% will reply with a No or Yes and with their utmost lowest price. i never ever get any bad replies or got ignored. same thing with me if i list something on CL and they reply with a low price i just politely will tell them that their offer is too low. i always answer all buyers email and inquiries. that way i am building a good market environment for myself.
