In Adventurer's League, everything you can buy is explicitly stated to have an upcharge/discount if there is one. And in every 5th edition game I've played in, prices given by the DM are law - simply to cut down on meaningless timewasting of players attempting to haggle with every single purchase. If there is to be story-driven haggling, it should be made very clear to players that haggling and/or getting ripped off is an option. | |

Have you experienced this actually working well, or do you have experience of this working well that you can cite? Have you experienced player/GM trust remaining in place afterwards without inflicting abused gamer syndrome? | |
