Our policy has always been, look it over good, look it over again
and decide on a price you are willing to pay. Offer a substantial deposit, then put a limit on the time for them to accept, like 72 hours maximum or so. Then stick with it, they take it or leave it.
That works for us, always has. When you are the buyer, act like a buyer and be firm. No takee the offer? No buyee the place?
