I just make it very clear the moment they start to haggle what my min price is. I always price something with the assumption the price will drop but I stand very firm with the price I set as the low ball. Usually my low ball is what I really want for the item, so if they don't haggle it's just extra money to me.
When or if they try to get me lower I just tell them no. The way I look at it, is I have something they want. Either they want it bad enough to pay what I'm asking or they don't. Either way it sells for what I want to sell it for or it doesn't sell. The only times I ever go lower than what I want out of it, is if I've had the item a long time or there isn't a demand which I thought there was.
