In his book "Starting Small and Making It Big" Bill Cummings points out that a good salesman or negotiator finds something for both parties. In the case of the property in the earlier post, I don't know that the deal focused on the asking price, which is where most of us look at first. Most of us look at the asking price and try to go up or down a few thousand dollars. If you find out the owner is selling for some reason other than to buy another property, you may be able to be more creative.
