Okay guys, so I did the math, it took A LOT of spreadsheet time and I decided to share with you guys just in case someone else still appreciates the ancient art of a Haggle Bot.
This is NOT a viable build to anything at all other than piking up until 32 and then park it next to the bank and vendors. I only pretty much cared about max Haggle and that's it.
The other builds available were from before the changes in epic destinies and stuff. My Haggle bot was a bard until 2016, when monks became better than bards up until the epic destiny revamp, and then after that bards became better again. I won't do a level by level walkthrough since it's not that relevant and if you are insane enough to thinking about doing a haggle bot you are familiar enough with DDO to fill in the blanks anyway. I'm just sharing my results, because some of those weren't that intuitive at all to me and came as a surprise, so it may help others too:
Human Bard 18, Sorcerer 1, Acolyte of the Skin 1 (you can actually change the mix as long as you are still with 12 bard in the end, for the bard feats)
Abilities: Max Charisma (obviously)
Epic Destinies: Legendary Dreadnought, Fatesinger and Shiradi Champion
Feats: Luck of Heroes (it gives 3 to all skills when you get Shiradi), Improved Bardic Music, Negotiatior, Skill Focus: Haggle, Past Life: Bardic Dilettante, Past Life: Sneak of Shadows, Past Live Human 1, Epic Reincarnation Skill Mastery x3, Sharn City Council Favor Feat, Inspire Excellence, Epic Reputation, Dreamscape (random buff, sometimes we get 6 to all skills), Scion of the Ethereal Plane, Epic Charisma (whenever there's nothing from this list at the level)
And if you're really insane, you can add 2 lives of Dragonborn, 2 lives of Half-Elf and 2 lives of Tiefling to get 6 extra Charisma, and Completionist and Racial Completionist add bonuses too. This is NOT worth the time, of course, but for the sake of completion I'm disclosing that it's available.
As for Enhancement Trees, you use the Human one, Harper Agent, Inquisitive (at least until you max Legendary Dreadnought, it is needed for the +6 skill boost), Fire Savant, Acolyte of the Skin, Soul Eater and Spellsinger.
Spells: Focusing Chant, Eagle's Splendor (if you're naked, dunno) and Greater Heroism
That's it!
In the making of my calculations I thought that the best character was another thing multiple times, from being half-elf, to dragonborn, to monk, to rogue, to fighter, alchemist, to using primal avatar... but yeah, that's it. A pity we can't do bard/monk, because that would be even best.

. Think each full enhancement respec cost upwards of 200k? Not a lot as a one-off thing, but start doing a few of those every life, and it adds up.
