> But, I don't see why you should criticize leak for not having the same feelings.
I'm fine with his haggling. My time and the way I'm perceived by the store owners of the places where I shop is worth more to me than I could ever gain by haggling over the price of a bike. Leak and I are in that sense not in the same position. I also think that if I want to keep that store in business by the time some warranty issue rolls around that I probably will have to let them earn some money. (the dutch word for that particular feeling is 'gunnen', this doesn't happen often but I haven't a clue what the proper English translation is).
He gets to do it his way and I do it in mine. Any guilt complexes are on account of their respective owners.
