I would say to look at the total cost of the item, including shipping, and decide if you want to pay that for the piece. (In my area, having the postal carrier pick up packages is just not an option) I also have the cost of insurance included in the shipping cost for items over a certain amount as I want to be sure an item is insured in case of loss or damage during transit.
For example, I charge what some would consider a high amount for Priority Mail, but instead of having a bulk post office run once or twice a week, priority mail packages are personally brought to the po as soon as they are complete. There are wildly varying costs in packing materials (including the cost to get said packing materials to one's home) some people might factor in gas to travel to the post office, default insurance cost, or other things.
Shipping: There are a lot of different costs that go into factoring a shipping cost, and some people probably shift some of that cost to the item price while others have a shipping cost more representative of their actual costs.

Discounts: I personally don't like to be asked about them because I try to price things fairly based on my costs/overhead/labor and I was not raised in a heavy "haggling" culture/area, but will usually respond nicely with a basic "I am not running any promotions at this time, please feel free to follow me on (insert social media) or sign up for my email newsletter to be informed in the future." That being said, for my VIP clients (the ones who have purchased repeatedly at full price and I have a good relationship with) sometimes get little extras or specials because I know they do value my work and I value their business.
