The cost of a free ride - why not to use a buyer's agent (submitted by Ken Rick)

My wife and I were house shopping and we decided to make an offer on a condo. We threw out a low-ball offer for the condo and, to our surprise, the seller's agent was very eager to work with us. He negotiated on our behalf with the seller, and basically came back and said that if we could raise our offer a little bit (but less than a competing offer) he would convince the seller to give it to us. Why would the seller's agent go so far for us?
