I'd say dollar bills. When you pay by CC, the store has to pay the merchant fee of 2-3% of the purchase price so they aren't able to give the same discount.

Also, if you are dealing with a smaller, mom and pop kind of store, cash is often preferred for tax reasons if you know what I mean.

Is that haggling asking for free shipping and sales tax? I thought with all big ticket items that was a standard question.

I'd say that negotiating anything about the purchase price is haggling. If they give you "no sales tax" they are actually discounting the price of the item to account for the sales tax. You are still paying tax, just on a lower amount.

If shipping is not normally free and they agree to give it to you for free, that is haggling as well.
