    Respectfully, this is hostile, and will not win friends-- or
    customers. I don't think we really want to "stop them dead". I will,
    myself, sometimes reply to "Is this your best price?" by saying,
    with a smile, "Well, $ (amount greater than what they asked about)
    would be better!" to point out that what is better for them is worse
    for me and vice versa. One man looked confused and said "What?" and
    his wife elbowed him in the ribs and explained. But mostly I just
    say, "Sorry, my prices are already as reasonable as I can make them."
