The way I usually see buisness deals go down is:
Party A has something they wish to sell/trade
Party B has the goods/money that your looking for your sale/trade
IF party B asks party A to name his Price on how much he'd like for said items, it makes sense that Party A would absolutely throw out an offer thats somewhat fair, but still on the higher end of the spectrum. Its human nature to want a bit more. This is where the dealing aspect comes into play. A typical reasonable deal in TF would go something like this:
Party A: 'Ello guvna, ive got 1 hat for a heavy to trade ya!
Party B: Good morrow fine sir! How much for said hat would you like?
Party A: Well I twas lookin' for somethin' around 2 Refined for it!
Party B: Thats slightly higher then I was looking to trade good gentleman, how about 1 refined and 1 reclaimed!
Party A: Thats a fai' offa luv! Deal!
Party B: Good show ol' chap!
You notice that while party A offered higher then the normal price of refined metal (essentially the currency of TF2) Party B was able use COMMON SENSE, and NOT FREAK OUT (this is key) at the offer and deal so both ppl were happy w the trade
Now this is example 2 of the average TF2 nerd and an almost verbatim trade that I had go down
Me: Hey man, you were looking to trade for this Unusual Hottie's Hoodie Ive got?
TF2Nerd: Yeah, how much you looking for it?
Me: Around 8 buds
TF2Nerd: ......
Tf2Nerd: Did you just fucking say that to me?
Me: What?
Tf2Nerd: Did you just FUCKING say THAT to ME!?
Me: ...wtf?
TF2Nerd: HOW DARE YOU ASK FOR THAT SHIT! I HOPE YOU FUXN CHOKE ON DIX YEW FAGGOAT!
Trade ends.

I used to try to trade items in Diablo 2, with similar endings to the story.
I present armor that is VERY good that anyone can use, but I have outgrown. I offer it to someone 20 levels under me and ask if he would give me that awesome sword his sorceress has, because she will never ever use it. He demands tons of other things that are nowhere in the realm of what the offer is worth, and when I tell him he will never get anyone to ever give him what he wants, and that my deal is pretty much amazing, I just get "lol," *player has left server.*

I've encountered that in many situations on the various games/avatar sites I've gone to when I was younger.
"I have this extremely rare item that was released in the same month as yours, in the same envelope, can we trade for the other item?"
"NO, YOU NEED TO ADD A MILLION GOLD AND YOUR FIRST BORN CHILD TO THAT OFFER."
"But... they're worth the same. "
"NO YOU FOOGUT, I DEMAND MORE BECAUSE I'M GOING OUT OF MY WAY TO CLICK THE TRADE AND TYPE IN MY PASSWORD A COUPLE TIMES. GTFO, YOU FUKNURD."
