    Some of this might be fishing for buyers with inflated offers, or
  anyway it can be suspected as such.  Other times, the range between
  what someone might reasonably expect and what he'd settle for can
  be big, so he/she might want to just look for offers.

    Almost never happens.  Turns out these are usually offering a very
  low price for the item sought.
I've seen one exception to this out of
  several.
