Well, I think it's pretty normal.... consider the current economy condition... ppl are MUCH more concious about $$... every penny counts..... besides, give a bottomline price really shorten some un-necessary hassles... do you rather have someone asking your, "Hey, what's the bottom line for your MB?" Or "Wow, that was hellal negotiation for the past 45 min, but I was originally looking for a Yugo".....
Besides, when you buy something, you always want the best price in town, no?? I can't imaging anyone would go up to the seller and said "Yo, bud, your price is too low, add another 2K and I will take it"....
Just my 2 cents....
