getting eager to sell?

A 2004 with 200k kms (120k mi.) that's within my C.R.A.P. Prius Radius has been advertised at various (somewhat high) prices for one month now: $5500-$6k. It's not pristine cosmetically, and the ad doesn't offer the mechanical inspection certificate.

I was in touch with them via email to ask if their price was negotiable. They said "yes", but I didn't respond (because I'm too nice to lowball at 2/3 of their asking price.)

But they re-listed today with "please contact" instead of a price. And they also say they need to sell before moving out west. So I contacted them again. Lowball offer imminent? We'll see.
