This is a great story. It illustrates everything perfectly:
Why, as employee, you're probably getting played and that you should ask for more money.
Why, as employer, it's advantageous to be magnanimous and not lowball the employee.

As a side note, I originally wanted to offer the candidate 96K because I knew he was worth it (more, actually.) But, the CEO decided to press on an engineer who wasn't all that driven by money. A phenomenally poor decision. I resigned from my position at a later date, and our hiring practices were not without consideration.
