I think I'm just economically rational: the only thing I look is the price, nothing else, in a situation where there's no competition.
So as negotiating is about trading price for something else, well, I don't have much to negotiate...
But the whole issue I have with negotiating is the one of "value". We don't put the same value on objects. For example, for me, the value of a car is the cost that is needed to produce and sell it. The social status thing has zero meaning for that. So I'd be glad to say to the salesperosn "hey, drop that social status option and let me pay a bit less" :-)
