If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
There are plenty of real world situations where you can negotiate prices. If you buy groceries at a chain such as Walmart you can't negotiate prices.
If you however buy them at a farmers market you can.
Even if you buy a hot dog at a street vendor you can negotiate for price.
Are there games that are very close to real world negotiations?
A friend of mine learned negotiating by trading world of Warcraft items. I think he brought WoW-gold for 50€ and used that as capital basis for trading the items.
When you want some form of interacting with your friends, you could bet with them frequently. Betting means that you can negotiate the odds.

Thank you, I hadn't thought properly about that. I was avoiding all those situations. Doing actual negotiations for small stakes is an excellent plan. It's not quite perfect. It doesn't give very good feedback, since I don't get any information about what they would have been willing to settle for if I were a better negotiator.
