How Do You Handle Price Negotiations in Public Threads?

[koyala]

Some communities allow public bargaining, others push it to private messages. Which approach keeps things transparent without turning threads into chaos?

This keeps threads clean, avoids pressure tactics, and prevents confusion or perceived favoritism among other buyers.
