I don't think you were in the wrong at all here. As many have said, folks are too sensitive these days. I have even received similar messages on eBay like "what is the lowest you'll take" when I don't have best offer on an item for sale. I just politely reply yes or no if I like or don't like the offer.

Bottom line, we are all looking for a deal all the time. Sometimes we get the deal we want, sometimes we offer a deal to the person buying. Can't we all just get along? :-)
