Default No offers? Firm? WTF?

I'm in the market for a second hand car and I come across many ads that say No offers or $10000 FIRM etc. I'm always perplexed by these statements. I, like many, want to know I've got a bargain or a good price and always like to think I could knock off at least a couple of hundred off an advertised price. With these ads of no offers etc, it really turns me off. I'd rather the person advertise for $10500 if he really wants $10000. Even though I end up paying the same amount, I FEEL like I have achieved something by knocking off $500. I just think 'no offers' and 'firm' wreak of arrogance. Would these people pay full retail when buying a new car? Thoughts?
