I sincerely hope this is not a sarcastic comment, for we are doing this always on our Smart Phones. Many Stores and Web Sites encourage this for price matching.
Also in the older days one would hop from shop to shop to get the best prices - and why not Mr. Fantastic Fox. It was fun "leaving our money elsewhere". Hmm!!
Hard earned money $$$$$ Sir.
Note: I was in the Middle East, North Africa & the CIS for some 17 years, where bargaining was most enjoyable for both the seller and the buyer.
We would go on saying "aakhir" (meaning this is the last offer) a 100 times till the deal was done.
