Can I say it ? Sound ok ?

"Pardon me if l haggle over the price, this is new to me and I am really interested in your product".

I saw it in a book and i was wondering if I can say:

"I am sorry if I haggle over the price, I don't used to do it, but I am really interested in your product".

Grammatically correct ?

Thank you
