It seems this whole thing could have been avoided rather simply.
I've done a fair bit of trading in a flea market environment, and in online forums. Typically, a seller will post/list a price somewhat higher than he is willing to accept. The potential buyer then offers a price slightly lower than what they are actually willing to pay. The hope is that they both meet somewhere in the middle, that way both of them think they got a really good deal.

If the price on an item is fixed, it might be a good idea to mentin that in the original listing. Words and phrases such as 'firm' and 'not negotiable' have prevented plenty of misunderstandings, I'm sure.

Can we please end this discussion now, before the moderators have to come in and lock this thread?
