poormouth 

To whine and complain that you don't have much money, that you're destitute from other expenses etc. when negotiating for goods or services when, in reality, you're loaded and much better off than the person you're haggling with.

"Don't let him poormouth you into doing that job for half price. He's a millionaire a couple times over."
