Making an offer and hagling are entirely different things.
Plyon said he want's a depsit before haggling, which is silly, as it could lead to this scenario.
Me: Okay here is your $100 now I'd like to discuss the price on this 1983 Sentra.
Plyon: $50,000
Me: I was thinking more like $700
Plyon: fine I'll meet you half way, $25,350, but that's the best I can do.\
Me: No way!
Plyon: Alright then beat it, thanks for the $100 though.
That of course would be the worst plan ever if you wanted repeat business, but it could happen.
That's entirely differnet than making an offer on a house, where you're actually saying "I'd like to pay you $350,000 for this house".
