A couple of points. Regardless how of you arrived at your salary range, from an employers perspective it's irrelevent in a number of ways. Their offer may well be based on how much they have to spend for the position, how bad they want you and the salary requirements of other applicants. Unfortunately you have no way of determining these factors for certain. The questions you need to ask yourself are, how rare are you and your skills, how bad do you want this job at the offered salary, and how willing are you to risk not getting the job over the salary difference. Once you answer those questions try to get a face to face to discuss salary. When you get down to THE QUESTION, do this. Say, "I really need to get X," (which has just enough abiguity to allow you to eventually continue with "but I'll take your offer") and then SHUT UP. Look them in the eye and don't say a word. If they are negotiating they will offer reasons/ explanations etc. Allow them to continue (without comment) until they finish and then let silence prevail--at this point the first one to speak loses. If they don't step up at this point, they aren't going to. Now you have the option of accepting their offer or walking. It's trickier to do by phone and impossible to do by mail.
