Ljr,
As you can see, real estate commissions in South Carolina are negotiable. I believe what Dan was trying to demonstrate is that while you may be able to find an agent who will list your house for less than the popular 6% fee, it's important to consider how your listing might be at a disadvantage if buyer's agents see they'll have to accept lower compensation for selling your house than another house.
In this economy everyone is looking to save money - I completely understand what you're after - however, with home prices continuing to slip, saving money right now means selling as quickly as you can. Saving 1% of the sales price by listing with someone offering to charge you less can very easily end with you losing much more than 1% if the home sits on the market with no offers. Before too long you're making price reductions, and a 1% drop isn't going to make much of a difference to a buyer in most cases.
Good luck!
