I think it is a bargaining strategy.

Here is a way of doing business:

Advertised for $1000
'I'll give you $1 for it'
'$999'
'2'
'998'
'3'
...
End up settling on a fair price but with the addition of many many many many hours of wasted labor for meetings and negotiations.

Here is another way of doing business:

Status quo.
'I suggest you change the status quo to something better'
'We counter your suggestion with something worse than the status quo'
Many many hours of meetings and negotiations.

Status quo.

Status quo, with the additional cost of all the meetings and negotiations.

Being paid by the hour for meetings and negotiations at exotic locations around the world:

Criminal.
