Buyer's market
I agree ... when evaluating WLs before I purchased -- and when evaluating homes I've purchased over the years, I simply ignored those that were priced significantly above what appeared to be a reasonable market price. 
I did and would consider those that were, perhaps, a "little" high with the thought that a reasonable offer might be accepted. As it turned out, I bought my coach from Mr. Olivers through an eBay auction. The price offered was "aggressive" compared to what I could parse from other WLs available at the time -- and was $30k less than the 'list' price offered on the Mr. Olivers web site. (I was the only bidder.)
Ultimately, a "fair" price is what a willing buyer will pay to a willing seller for any product.

Maury, My comments are a little confusing.  I am not saying I 
wouldn't negotiate or never have.  I just would rather not do 
business that way. Some people love it. It's almost like a blood 
sport for them. If I thought the fair price for a BB was 50% of the 
listed price and I really was serious?   I would first ask if the 
seller would like me to offer what my research indicated was fair. 
And I would offer if not my final offer darned close.  Just me.
