I was able to get 5% and 2% when I sold my last place in 2007. That was also in the late stages of the bull housing market when anyone could sell (good or bad realtor) and welist.com was legit competition. My place sold in less than a week and my realtor didn't have to do much.
In today's tough market I'd probably go with an experienced realtor where you probably won't get too much haggling room. They are now worth the fees.
