What one recruiter (a good friend) told me is that I should just put a high number, because he charges commission based on the salary offered.
Also negotiable means they have to negotiate. Expect it to be 10% lower than the offered number. I've had someone negotiate as far as 33% when the offer was already very low but that kind of low balling destroys trust.
