You can probably negotiate something with somebody, specifically if you are willing to buy in person as to avoid getting scammed. However this will probably go only for buying lots of BTC, and I doubt there will be a huge discount with BTC now at $2000.
That's too risky to do for someone whose new to cryptocurrencies and don't know the basics. It's better to buy in the exchanges or by using escrow services, especially when the price is too high.
