Are you getting ridiculous offers from new members

If you think that was bad, try selling high end watches.

thanks, I wasn't talking so much about just a low offer, they can offer what they want, but this adds in that I am a scam artist, that my prices are way out of line, that it must be a hoax, that I am no smarter than his horse, etc. AND he was registered under multiple names sending different variations of the above. I blocked him and Audiogon suspended him, but this is the first time I ever received anything like that on this site. Hope it is not a trend.

Yes, all the time.  Nothing new unfortunately. 

Agreed. Just pass onh them. Since early 2003 or so, I’ve always gotten tire kickers. Some folks feel ads here are fair game to ask for ridiculous lowball prices on good gear whenever they please. Like it s a flea market or midnight auto sale.

Not having been in the buying and selling mode lately though, as memory serves, it did not seem to matter if the folks asking for me to give something away were new, or not.

It seemed to matter more on who, than anything else.

If the offer is rude. I don’t reply at all. Well, not anymore.

Merry Christmas

I agree with @lalitk. I've been a member since the early days and I've always gotten silly low offers. I typically just decline and reply with a "no thank you" and move on. I've never sold a piece for a price below what I felt was reasonable. However, I'm mostly dealing with mid/moderately priced items, not high end. It may be different up in the higher price ranges.

Nothing new, the best thing to do is ignore them. I sell and buy frequently here and if you’re patient, you end up getting your asking price or obo as long as thd item is fairly priced.
