The difference is that the dollar value of time in America is higher. So while an Indian may haggle over a bag of lemons because the rupee value of the lemons vs. time is what it is, the American won't.
You'll often see this when selling used stuff in America. Poor people will haggle to the end of time because every dollar matters to them - something that manifests in selling something at a higher price being more risk-free than selling something at a lower price. For the same reason, if anything goes wrong with the used product they will be upset with you. Because every dollar counts to them.
I throw away cheap stuff instead of Craigslisting it because of the danger of it only being worth buying to poor people.
By the way, Americans prefer calling it 'negotiating'. You 'negotiate' a lower price, you don't haggle things down to a lower price.
