I disagree. It depends in what stage in the process they ask the question. If a few customers pay $1, most likely most customers pay $2. The vendors is going to target $2 custoemrs, and how does the vendors know whether you are a $1 prospect, if you dont make him aware? I hate it when I lose a vendor because they were two high, then after a huge amount of time and frustration I lock into another contract with someone else, and then learn the original vendor could have met my price if I had just asked for it. Nobody wants to give the store away by default. You got to ask for it, and prove to them why you should get it. One good way to prove it, is to tell him what price you can get from others.
Maybe not tell him your exact current price, but tell them who the competitors are, and target pricing you are shooting for.
