I was watching something on TV the other day with my wife, I think it was one of those shows where someone is trying to find a place to buy or rent. The owner had set an asking price, and the potential renter just baldly asked them if they could do any better. I blurted out something like "how rude", and my wife (who is also in sales) asked me what I was talking about. I told her that the proper thing to do is to make an offer, not ask the seller to just reduce his price. That's definitely one of my pet peeves as a seller, when someone just asks "What's your best price?" without even making an offer.
