Usually, when I go to buy a car, the conversation goes like this:
Me: Thats a nice car you have there, how much you want for it?
Them: Oh, I dont know, how much are you offering?
Me: I dont know what its worth, tell me what you'd take. Surely you have some idea of what you'd like to get out of it.
Them: Nah, you name the first price.
Me: $50.
Them: Fuck that shit.
Me: You wanted me to name a price so I did. If $50 isnt enough for you, you obviously have some idea of what you think its worth, so lets hear it.
Them: Oh, well, I was thinking $1500.
Me: But it needs... Im thinking $1100.
Them: Yeah, but its got a good... would you go $1400?
Me: Aww, changing that... is gonna be alot of work, I really cant go any higher than $1200...
Them: Well, I cant let it go for that because...
Me: Alright, well, it does have a good... $1250 is the best I can do. I've got bills too...
Them: Alright, give me the cash.
And if you dont know what your item is worth, then you should sell it to me for $10 for being clueless. You're hoping I'll come out of the gate with a price too high for the item. I wont, my price will ALWAYS be too low.

Well that is one way to go about it that will work for some people. You have the idea that everyone has a price, so you bring out the weak jedi mind trick or reindeer games to test the water.
But if someone is plugging away happy as a clam not actively selling something, and you offer to buy it. Then most people will either say what are you offering to see if you are a serious player with cash. Or. give you some high number to get the point across it's not for sale.
Example..
You have a nicely designed TGP.
Thanks
You have a lot of traffic.
Yes. 500,000k daily
Wow. Well how much you selling it for?
... at this some people are thinking, "it's not for sale BUT I'll see if this person's serious or not. Then they come back with that lame ass limp wrist pimphand $10 type shit, give me a ballpark (as described above), and you know that they are not serious most of the time.
Could be. But generally they fuck off after that part of the convo, and you continue about your business.
