My bank account says this works.
An old psychological trick for selling high value items in real life is to price them VERY SPECIFICALLY. Want $6000 for your car? Price it at $6433.11, for example. Many people see the absurdly specific price and figure it's set to that for a reason that is unlikely to be moveable. Almost no one will ask, and few will haggle. It's an unconscious thing that most people won't even recognize.
