If you write a price clearly on an article, then put up a sign that says...

I did the haggling last night. I cut my prices and wrote the lowest amount I would accept on the ticket. Please don't ask for a discount as the price is fixed.

Point to the sign each time a person tries to haggle.

The other method that I use it to say to the person that the price was set by my wife and she won't budge. She says the same about me. (we have set the prices in agreement so it is correct.)

You'll miss some sales but it's the total for the day you are interested in. You can always give the stuff that doesn't sell to a charity.

Enjoy Your MOney
