People who don’t price things are usually hoping someone will offer more and holding out for high prices. They also probably realise they’re not selling as much as they would like. Just make it clear you’re not in it for high end buying and offer what you want to pay or leave it. I haggle on everything as I’m hella tight, dealers are normally open to haggling so give it a go.

Does anyone bother haggling at record fairs? We have a local monthly one in my area. One vendor usually turns up with a fair amount of records, none of them priced. I usually avoid his stall. Out of interest I asked for prices this time on three records that I internally valued at £40-50 total tops , for him to quote £110. For one of the records, he spent a fair amount of time on Discogs trying to work out a price, only to quote £40 over what the record is currently go for on there.
Is the vendor wanting me to haggle, not interested in actually selling his records, or just hoping to catch out the un-informed?
