Personally, I hate haggling when I am buying and selling. I absolutely detest it. Even when I was in Mexico, I wouldn't bother. I just inspect the item and use my judgement to figure out if I think the person is trust worthy.
I suspect that with a lot of people, even using the word "firm" in your ad wouldn't stop them from haggling with you.

Some people just don't get it.
