This is extremely common as a sort of all-or-nothing negotiation tactic. They’re hoping that you’ll just go “ah well, I don’t want to bother with getting someone else out here. Just go ahead and take it for $300.” Basically, they’re hoping you’ll fall for the Sunk Cost fallacy, and let them have it for cheap.
