If the item is in good condition and the price is within my budget, I pay up. I haggle if I want the item, but they're asking more than I want to pay or it has a flaw or feature that makes it less desirable to me. I don't nitpick the item to death, but I will state why I think the item is worth less than they're asking and make a lower offer. For some reason, the question "What's your bottom dollar?" just annoys me, so I never ask it.
I think a lot of hagglers feel like they're getting one over a fellow if they can beat them down just a little more, even if their price is more than fair from the get-go. It's a control game for them. I sell a bit of stuff on CL, and usually price my stuff for these guys. If someone comes here and is willing to pay my price with the extra padding, I usually voluntarily drop the price just before they pay. Nitpickers, lowballers, and people who ask "What's your bottom dollar?" get to pay full price no matter what, or get sent home without the item.
