I love to take a name I would like but do not need and dont care if I dont get it.... something that they say costs $4,000 and haggling them down to $100 or so...
Anyone else do that?

Domains are over-priced ... they've always been over-priced. I've seen people trying to sell the dumbest domains for $1 Million - crap with numbers and hyphens in it. More common are the $20,000 range domains, and when you try to haggle with the seller he'll say "This domain appraised for $50,000 this is a deal!"
Bunch of freakin clowns. Doesn't anyone realize that the only places who appraise domains are the same places that LIST DOMAINS FOR SALE and take a PERCENTAGE of what it sells for? OF COURSE they're going to over-inflate the "value" of a domain - the more it sells for, the more THEY make.
Lame.
More than once I heard the laments from the aggrieved hagglers. Some offered to pay me a lot more than their last "best and final offer". Some low brows and fools would even attempt to mug the deal by upping their ante after I verbally closed, but you know, most people will honor their word and those that might have been inclined otherwise pretty much were able to figure out what was coming next if I was played with. Never lost a deal once made.
Opportunity knocks. Don't answer. Please. Allow me to.
