Most of the 'lowballing' I've seen is from basic negotiating tactics.I've heard is some cultures its frowned on when you don't try and barter and just accept the first offer given. Kinda like that one scene in the Life of brian. Damn, now I have to go watch that scene.
If you ask somebody what they want to pay they're SUPPOSED to lowball (within reason*) because they expect you to come back with a highball for a counter-offer and generally you'll work something out in the middle of that.
*within reason is generally about +/- 30% of the item's total value.
