Rude or not, Haggling is common.

I personally haggle over everything when I am at conventions. Brick and Mortor stores are a bit different, but the outcome is usually the same. Plus if they have something else that is priced right you could do the ol' bundle technique (My personal favorite). I also feel like stores have something to gain by selling their dead stock for SOMETHING rather than it continue to collect dust, but a lot of stores I have hit feel like collectables appreciate in value the longer they sit on their shelves, which to me is ludicrous. If a figure doesn't sell for a year at $10 what makes you think it will ever sell at $15? Plus the rebranding made a lot of collectable stores raise the price of MU since it was no longer in production.
