I found this gorgeous red two-seater from Crate and Barrel's troy collection going for around $500, half the price of its original $1099 cost. A store sample is the piece on display in shops and is sold when the store decides to replace it with something else. It's a great buy because it's pretty much brand new.

Whoops, part of my comment accidentally got edited out! It meant to say "Haggling can be great," at the beginning.

Thank you so much for this line: "Haggling is an art, so do it with some grace..." Haggling can be, but trying to haggle with a cashier at your local department store or being rude about it will just make things frustrating. The last thing you want to do is come off rude or make the associates not look forward to having you in their store again. Ask what the associate can do for you and if it's not what you want, ASK politely (don't demand) if you can see their manager and thank the associate for their time. Having been the associate, I can say that nothing will burn somebody out faster than being made to feel like they're the bad guy because large price deductions are out of their control.
