Absolutely -- and I have no problem with people trying to save a buck. If you want to attempt to buy the item for less than the asking price -- just ask. The worst that can happen is you're told no. But the wrong person to ask, is someone who's completely unrelated to the transaction..

100% agreed on your point as well, Allan -- its just common respect for a big part of what makes our hobby what it is: the common, comfortable gathering ground of our local LFS sponsors.
