I disagree. Nobody is going to say "Gee, I'd really like to take all
this old junk and sell it at a swap meet but those darn hagglers just
make it such a chore!!!"

It's part of the whole swap meet experience. The fact is, I do treat
people fairly. I'm paying them what I feel it is worth, and as we all
know, that is what a "fair price" is. They certainly don't have to sell
it to me for what I ask, and in fact that has happened on several occasions.
