Why are most people sooooo CHEAP?

Question

Whether it is on eBay or the classifieds or in general wanting to buy something, why are most people so cheap? Why when you tell them a price is NOT negotiable, they still try to get your down on the price?? It gets annoying after awhile.

It is human nature to try and haggle, trading has been around from the beginning of time. Everyone wants to think they got the best deal that is why eBay is so popular, in reality you could probably get the same merchandise at the wholesalers cheaper, but because it is cheaper then the shops people think it is a "deal". Don't let the bargain shoppers get you down, it is all part of sales!

Fairly smart hit it on the money, but I want a lot of product or a good product for the money I have. That's not wrong. If it is annoying for you, go to a site other than ebay and pitch your product.
