Sounds like a gal after my own heart. I got indoctrinated in the art of dickering while I was a used car salesman, although my wife doesn't always agree with my tactics. Once when I bought a pickup as a private buyer, it got down to the salesman and I arguing over $5. I forget what the final price was, but I recall it ended in $2.50 'cause we wound up splitting the $5. I thought my wife was going to kill me.
Another time when I sold a car privately, the buyer and I were dickering over $25. He knew he was going to buy it, and I knew I was going to sell it, we were just having fun over that $25. Again, my wife was fit to be tied.
Seriously, I don't lowball anyone. If I'm buying something from a private party and they quote a price, I'll usually ask if that's their bottom dollar. They'll either lower their price a bit, or at least indicate they might dicker. At that point, I'll make a reasonable offer depending on the item and how badly I want it. You can usually wind up somewhere in the middle.
I have no patience with someone who tries to lowball me. They can either be reasonable right off the bat or take a hike.
