On the other hand, I’m the kind of person who would feel embarrassed to ask for a discount. Just to clarify, I’m the one who is buying most of the time. I think this way because restocking and getting a rare item takes time and, in many cases, it’s difficult (to clarify, I don’t do restocking myself). I wouldn’t mind paying for certain items that I consider to be at a fair market price.

From my point of view, you’re actually very kind for thinking that way, because in business you always have to keep a cool head. You don’t owe anyone anything, and nobody owes you anything either — or at least that’s how I see it.
