Its wheeling/ dealing/ chiseling /squeezing ..
Im quite sure its done by many many collectors...looking for the best deal
Recent experience on one of my cards: I posted a Bo Jackson RC for sale below market ($10). I got this PM from a bottom-feeder:

"Howdy! I’d be a buyer at $7. Thanks for considering"

My reply:

"Yes, but I am not a seller at $7."

I thought it was pretty funny. The bottom-feeder did not:

"Rude response. You need to learn common courtesy and communication skills."

My reply:

"Yes, I suppose that is true, but it does not change the fact that your offer was ridiculously low. I know that because while you were busy being offended, someone else bought the card. Your loss..."
