    That is true, but I feel that if you leave the ball in their court they may be more likely to choose the lower end, that’s just my feeling. If I was an employer and I knew someone would work for 1k less then I would prefer to pay 1k less.

    But you only tell them how much you are prepared to work for after they offer you the job.

    Yes, there's no hard and fast rule on the etiquette of this. It's tricky and can be uncomfortable. I and a couple of people I know have had offers retracted (not due to salary negotiation though), an offer is not legally binding.
