Don't offer an even number willi. Like 136,750...
On counter offers, I always will try something like -250 less than the halfway point I'm trying to work towards....
The key to a good deal is you have to be willing to walk away. If you decide the home is worth 130k, don't get pushed and pay 135 because thats their bottom dollar. Pick your price, work towards it, and be willing to walk away.
Sometimes, down the road if its not getting hits, they'll call you and say "will you still give 125"?
Your counter can always go up, but never get better for you.
