Others are fishing for a deal on an item they can move, resell quickly for a profit - it's a good days work. Any used cars salesman will tell you that the profit is never in the price you sell the car for, but in the price you buy it for.
Here the culture is all about bargaining, it's so deeply rooted that asking price always allows for space to negotiate, and if someone just wants to pay what you are asking it's perfectly normal to be suspicious of the person, some may even back out of a sale in that case.
For the rest of us it comes to value, and value is personal, price seldom reflects value.

I was going to say that for many it's a cultural thing. But there are those that just like to haggle as well. For me when buying I figure if you don't ask you won't get. I try not to be insulting but I figure out what it's worth to me and then typically offer a little less hoping the negotiation will land me where I think it's fair. When selling I don't get offended. If they're offering a ridiculous price I just say no. As Henrick experienced you never know where it's going to go as long as there is communication.
