My experience is that this basically never happens unless I massively lowball someone (which is what offering 35M to a player asking 43M is).

While I wouldn't say it would happen often I can see the tactic if I were the player. You wanna low ball me, I was trying to compromise now I am asking for what I really think I am worth. Is it a good tactic? It is a game of brinksmanship so it is very risky. It can happen but it might be happening a bit too much.
