Another annoying Craigslist buyer rant

racingjunk is the same way. for some reason people think that that no matter what the asking price is the item is open to negotiation at half that price. I would also shift some of that blame on TV shows. Every show on TV depicts that if a person ask for price A you start off with cutting that price in half.
The idea of supply and demand takes a hit when everyone expects stuff at half price and some time half half price.
