personally l don't haggle, although l rarely buy second hand anyway.
in my experience anyone who has a substancial item for sale and knows their gear will ask a fair price in the beginning with the hope of not being besieged by the bargain hunter who would not know a good deal if it bit them.
my main criteria when buying secondhand is who l am buying from in the first place, l tend to get a feeling by the way the for sale ad is structured and the impression l get of the seller from past history of their posts on the forum in all catergories not just buy/sell.
l have bought various items although not many and on every occassion what l have bought has been as advertised and in very good condition and on one occassion an absolute bargain and all witout haggling.
