They will try to make the other parties feel that they are being unreasonable and either they should pay more than they want to, or sell lowered then they really want to.
After people have paid 10s of thousands too high for the wrong property because your realtor gave up $1000 out of his $10000 commission, they often don’t even realize how bad the deal really was. They will often praise that same realtor and recommend him to all their friends.

But in the end, a realtor that does any of those kind of tactics is a bad realtor. In that case, it doesn't matter if the realtor is willing to take a commission cut or not, because that realtor should be avoided completely.
I am not completely disagreeing with methods that worked for you, but I am just showing two sides of the coin here.
