Is a offer of -20 percent on an OBO ad insulting?

I made a offer 20% below the sellers asking price on a Krell last night. The seller emailed that I shouldn't waste his time with such a ridiculous offer and that he was blocking me from his email list. Was I out of line?

I think it's the way you make the offer. How it's worded. Be polite, and maybe even acknowledge that while some might consider it a lowball offer, you don't mean to offend. Personally, I'm not insulted until about the 40% mark, but even then I'll thank them for their offer and politely say no. Bill and Ted are right--be excellent to one another.
