If no one ever pays those bills why bother making these numbers up? Why not charge $5B? Or even $3T for that matter. Wouldn't it save everyone time and money to give the right price first? What is the purpose of this game?

You can find an detailed answer to that in thread, in short - making sure that the negotiated price is that asking price is never less than real negotiated price
