Are they bluffing on this number to see if they can get more than the BPO came in at?

I was bluffing, the owners were not too sophisticated and everything was settled quickly - they moved out in couple days.

i have a house im trying to get under contract the sites say 150k average the seller says its worth 290k but wants no less than 200k i know he bluffing ......but he called me from a mail i sent a month ago .... how can i get a correct price point on comps .... its a pretty house 5bdrm 4 bth around 1600 sqft which is small i know but he also owes 5k in back taxes...... thanks guys any help or point me in the right direction would be of great service  

She's probably bluffing in my opinion.

I asked her if she could afford $25, and she said no, that she understands about the increase, but would have to move.Maybe she was bluffing, but I decided to let her stay at the same rent for another year. 2 weeks ago, she asks if she can install an alarm system at her own expense.

So other than bluffing and threatening to leave (even though i really can't),   what other leverage do i have?    

I looked up their homes and one couple has a $350k home and the other somewhere around $150k.Are they bluffing?

Out of principle I want to keep the rate the same or raise it however I know financially it makes sense to keep them in the place if they are not bluffing.

BLUF: What would you do?

He probably bluffing to buy out more time.
