How does one answer the wage question if asked: "How much were you thinking for pay?". That is a toughy. I am a terrible bargainer, the guy I sold my car to last night said $600 and I said how about $550 cause he was a nice guy.
I like answering that question with "Well right now I make XXX".

It puts the ball back into their court. You basically tell them what your current situation is and they have to decide if they have to offer you a raise to get you or not. At minimum they should offer you what you currently make.
