ahha exactly. It's not my job to negotiate my own price for the buyer. Asking for £1 is genuinely better than asking that question.

i generally don't haggle on forums and such as a rule, generally if somethings listed at a price i like i'll buy it, if not then not going to bother.

i can absolutely get the sentiment, very annoying when you feel the need to intentionally over-price things so you can get what you wanted after it's been haggled down.

As with vehicle sales, I thank them for their interest and say that the lowest price is the one clearly displayed in the advert.

Bear in mind that "Alice" can virtually haggle you down to £X, then "Bob" (who is definitely not Alice) rocks up later and starts trying to haggle downwards again from there, somehow mysteriously knowing that you'll accept £X as a worst case.
