It needs work but imo it has potential, the current system doesn't work well. It may well turn out to be a gimmicky mini-game but it might not if it's implemented well enough.

Whilst that may be true, they wouldn't say "The minimum we would accept is £5m and the highest we will accept is £15m, now let's negotiate". This is what the idea you are suggesting would be the equivalent of.
What they may say is "we want £18m" (or an amount they feel would put off a suitor but they would be very happy to accept if offered dependant entirely upon circumstance) after an enquiry and then expect negotiations but the initial price would generally be above what they would accept and that is where the negotiation should begin.
After this point, a buyer would then either pay the amount or offer a lower figure. The lower figure would be rejected if far too low, accepted or negotiated. This cycle would continue until both parties are satisfied or one of the two parties break off negotiations.
I feel that the current system is far from perfect and should be nurtured but it is far more realistic than the suggestion made.
