sometimes a seller will not start at a high price, they might think you know the price (e.g. they just saw you buy something similar).
If your offered price is too low, they will not sell to you and will let you walk away. This year I saw a couple forgo a trip around the island and a boat trip because they had read on a forum somewhere what the price should be and wouldn't pay more. The locals wouldn't do it for the price, was not worth it to them. So these people went all the way to bali to sit in a hotel, for the sake of $20.
If you walk away, be prepared to miss out.
