> Don’t you see lots of people who stubbornly fail to shop around, even though shopping around totally works? I sure do. For virtually any major purchase, I ask the vendor, “Can you do any better?” And guess what? They cut my price two-thirds of the time. Everyone else pays full price.

That's not "shopping around"; that's haggling. The author sounds like kind of an asshole for doing this.
