I realize that the whole ‘marketplace’ concept allows for negotiation - but I’m wondering how, in general, others handle pricing in a ‘local pickup’ scenario. Thanks

It is totally up to you on any discount, especially if you feel it's already been discounted appropriately. Same as if someone 'makes an offer' on eBay.
But no, you aren't breaking any unwritten code to further discount because it is FB local pickup.
