Bad faith is not uncommon. But now that they've done it once, feel free to turn the knife and ask for even more. I've been in a negotation where the company made a "final offer" that was egregiously low where I had the leverage. I waited two weeks to reply, countered with a 10x increase, waited another two weeks, and then increased it another 4x. Both times they capitulated.

(It was probably still too little.)

Do you mean percentage? Or did you counter a $100K offer with $1 million and then asked for more?
