Yeah, I don't think this example really fits the discussion. The seller offered you a 2% ($3 off his $130 price) discount, and you countered asking for a 11.5% discount ($15 off his $130 price).
Your weren't lowballing him, but you are asking for a pretty big discount. If his margin is something like 8%, he obviously can't accept your offer.
I often price things as low as I can in order to sell quickly. In those cases, I would turn down a request for a 11.5% discount and it wouldn't have anything to do with me "preferring not to make a sale".
