Very true - people are conditioned to believe that sellers should start high, buyers should start low, and you're supposed to meet somewhere in the middle. I've always thought that was a waste of time.

I could probably start with an absurdly high price to play into the psychology of negotiations, but I prefer to cut to the chase, even if it costs me potential sales from people who just want the dopamine rush from scoring a discount.
