Edumacate me re: Making offers on gallery art

Hello.

You BOYZ wanna teach me a little bit about how to make a 'non-insulting' offer on gallery art?

Specifically, I want to get a few "Secret Art of Dr. Suess" prints, mainly the one called "Flowerfish" or "Green Cat in Uleaborg Finland Subway."

The Advertised prices for the prints are pretty ambitious IMO, and the gallery prices usually sit right around that official advertised price. On eBay, even more, but that's not the real world.

What would you say is a good rule of thumb for making an offer?

YES I understand that I can just be a dick and go in and offer half, but I'd like to be respectful and seem like I've done at least a little research, especially since I work in the 'art' world myself.

Thanks
