Ja, I'm not of the opinion that a deal/trade is optimal when both parties are a bit unhappy with the terms. Surely the marketplace is more optimal if all items are priced such that both seller and buyer feel comfortable and happy with the terms. Markets are in my opinion a bit more flexible and dynamic. I already think the classifieds is correcting itself. Sellers are starting to get fed up with 50% of asking price offers, and buyers are reposting their items dropping their prices. Those who don't drop their prices are rigid and increasingly struggle to get their items sold. Psychologically, however, it is always cool thinking that you haggled on a deal and managed to get a better price than was advertised, and the seller is probably just happy he sold it.
