I usually say "this is all I can offer".

my approach has been "that kind of thing might sell for $1000 to the right
buyer, but not to me - to me it will sell for $100 (or whatever I'm willing
to offer) - many times the seller thinks and sells it to me anyway

That seems fair enough. Holding out for a "right buyer" may well be
beyond the seller's ability or tolerance for hassle. BTDT.
