I often make best offers, and they are often WAY lower than the BIN price, I usually include a note saying something to the effect of "I believe my offer is a fair price, because blah blah blah, but will not be offended if you disagree, no offense is intended, and no hard feeling from me regardless if you ignore, decline, accept or counter my offer."

I have "won" items for 80+% off, I have "lost" items for 10% off.

Either way, to paraphrase our illustrious leader "it is what it is".
