There's certain things you just don't do. How would you react if your new boss called you up and said that he's decided that he wants you to start at $5,000 less than what you previously agreed to, because he found somebody else willing to work for the lower salary?
But wait, what if he said that he would hate NOT to at least try to negotiate a slightly lower salary and then wind up kicking himself later for not trying? Would you just grin and say "That's OK, a guy's gotta try", or would you distrust him from that point on for reneging on an agreement?
It will not turn out well if you accept a job offer and then ask for more money before you even start work.
