The fact is that everybody lists real estate higher than they expect to receive, and everyone bids lower than they can pay.
And then through the negotiation process the two parties meet in the middle. That is not playing games.
IMO, it is odd that they would respond so unreasonably to a reasonable counter offer
That would be like if you're offered a $50,000/yr job and ask for $55. They will not come back and say no you can't have $55 and now we're only offering $45. If they can't go higher, then they would just say no, $50 is all we can offer, take it or leave it.
So I'm just sayin, I don't get it.

Something I was thinking about is that in the course of investigating the property they may have discovered more information about the area and or the property that has since soured them on their original bid. Discovering that there is a proposal to build an airport in two years or that there are seven sex offendors living in the neighborhood or etc. etc. might have caused their initial offer to drop.
