Good Offer?

I am in the market for a home and I have come across one that I have fell in love with. It's a foreclosure that has been on the market since October of 2008. Below is the price history.
06/25/2009 Price change $195,000
02/08/2009 Price change $236,500
01/07/2009 Price change $259,900
12/04/2008 Price change $279,900
11/02/2008 Price change $307,000

As you can see they dropped it again 6/25 to 195.000. My question is...I am thinking of offering 130-140k. Am I being niave to think they will accept a offer that low? 33-35% off ? It needs some work...but mostly cosmetic. Carpet...paint....couple of kitchen cabinet doors need replacing. Well thanks in advance for yall help.

ofcourse the listing agents commission is determined by the selling price. don't worry about what they 'think'.
