* ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'': This is how deals are made in traditional space pirate swap malls. However, after ten thousand years, Coran's knowledge is a little out of date, and the WretchedHiveOfScumAndVillainy he expected has turned into a perfectly pleasant shopping experience with fixed prices. It takes Coran a while to find someone who still deals in the traditional way; they mostly yell ridiculous offers at each other until they somehow come to an agreement.

* In ''Webcomic/Freefall'' Sam enjoys haggling so he and Naomi [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff3300/fc03232.htm haggle over the contract]] for her to come on the trip as an extra crew member. The [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff3300/fc03233.htm next strip]] has them (off-panel) referencing the haggling scene in [[Film/MontyPythonsLifeOfBrian Life of Brian]].

* Ethan tries this in ''Theatre/BlackFriday'' when he can't afford a couple of movie tickets for himself and Hannah. The kid behind the counter exasperatedly points out that this is a chain movie theater in a shopping mall; [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome not exactly the sort of place you can haggle]]. (Ethan also tries physical threats, but that doesn't work, either.)

-->'''Barnes''': Operations? ({{Beat}}) What kind of operations?
-->'''Professor Crump''': Somewhere to examine our artifacts.

** This is one of the [[PlanetOfHats species hat]] for the Squibs. They ''love'' to make deals and use their cute, unassuming appearance to their advantage. [[ChainOfDeals In Squib culture, the more complex, bizarre, and outrageous the deal, the more prestigious it is.]]
