    what do you do in such a situation?
    put the price back up and try with another agency

    So what, if someone who is not in a rush wants to get the highest price possible for their property by advertising it using different agents?
    You don't know anything about their mentality.
    Perhaps they are completely realistic but just giving it a go to see if anyone bites, after all it costs them nothing.

    Perhaps your peeved that they don't want to discount?
    Well the fact is that it's theirs and they can ask whatever they like.

    I don't think you can draw any conclusions at all from a single asking price.

    I've scrolled up and there's no evidence of anything - just laughable assertions and cherry-picked examples.

    As you are unable to provide any evidence you do realise that some people may think you just made it all up and are talking out of your backside? :rotfl:
