It is an interesting topic the idea that my decision process is often, an if this then that, without engaging deeply the topic. I am not sure if this is part of the Information Age or what.

    Has haggling died?

    My wife didn’t like haggling, she’s of the same opinion, if she likes the price she pays for it.
