New way of dealing with Low Ballers?


Just saw a new tactic for dealing with offers including unwelcome terms in an ad: "Please make an offer only if you agree to my terms, otherwise I will give you negative feedback."

Does the feedback system allow for this? Should it?

Give me the add and I'll lowball it, and we can find out. I've got nothing to lose. I hate lowballers, but they should not be given negative feedback unless they rip someone off on a sale.
Tell them you have a better offer locally, or tell them you'll let them know by tuesday..... 2035
I was hassled so much for a component on ebay (that I really would have given away) by a person so many times that I let them pay for it, had my friend cut it into 4 pieces on a band saw at a machine shop, then shipped it to them in 4 small boxes. At first (while the buyer was relishing in victory) he thought he was great for making me cave in. I was even kind enough to combine shipping! I made him file a claim to get a refund and he had to ship the unit back to me to boot. I still have 100% positive feedback, but I refuse to allow people to think that they have self entitlement for things they can't afford. At least when I'm selling something. The only thing I felt guilty about was not donating what I could have gotten for the unit to the poor or an animal shelter. Hopefully this will never happen again until at least 2035. Good luck to all.
What would you do if the item was delivered DOA? Have some friends but inexpensive items from him and leave him enough negatives to ruin his reputation? Better keep your day job on TV.
If the price is too high why put in an offer if you've found it for a lower price elseware?
No one is offended by someone trying to get the best deal. It's the riff raff that want things for (next to) nothing, then keep hassling the seller when they don't get their way. Self entitlement additude for those too cheap or that don't have the money, still not wanting to sacrifice like the ones that have the money. At that point, No thank you is that much of a chore. Some of us just don't have time for worms.
I have nothing against rich or poor. Just people that want things for nothing. What is there to not understand? There are lots of things I'd like to have, but if I can't afford it, I don't feel I'm entitled to have it anyway. I've been hassled by worms who do in the past, and refuse to give them the time of day.
Riff Raff.. Oh yeah, I'm a real persom with a straight face. Not trying to be "quaint". I was just being polite in my description. Do you fit the mold?
With the kind of money I have, I can spell any way I want. The ones who have understand, the have nots don't. Maybe that's why they don't. Riff Raff is still Riff Raff or lowballers as they like to seem to be addressed.
