Now, I wonder if I can make this work the other way around. If I'm making an offer on something, I wonder if it's more likely to be accepted if I write it in giant numerals.

I don't think the many-syllables thing is likely to work, though, if I offer some crazy non-round number then my bargaining partner is likely to just come straight back with "How about we round it up to...?" -- though I suppose that could be useful if even the rounded-up number is a nice low one.
