I would provide the seller with a list of what you need, and make a low ball offer for the lot. That gives you the best opportunity for negotiations. If you've ever watched tv shows like American Pickers, that's the way that seems to work in the favor of the búyer. It's kind of the way a lot of business works. Car dealerships work the same way but in reverse, where the sticker price can usually be negotiated down, or they offer to throw in some extras to sweeten the deal.
