My reply to customers who want to 'negotiate' on already marked down-items them is 'shop around and buy it for less if you can'. Of course, they won't be able to find it for less, as its at or near dealer cost. End result, they lose out if they walk away from it.
A store is there day after day after day. A garage or flea market or estate sale is there for one day only. The store does not have the sense of urgency that the other venues have, so if you don't buy the markdowns, someone else will. There is always a buyer for everything in the store.
