Apparently Elizabeth has never used audiogon to sell anything. Her stance is ridiculous.
If a person says "no lowball" and also allows the "make offer" button, they are clearly willing to accept less than their asking price. It's just not clear what is too low.
When I sell, I usually price below the going rate and do not allow the "make offer" button. So I clearly communicate my bottom line. But many sellers prefer the "start high and take offers" approach. Which is fine with me, but then they add this "no lowball" thing which requires the buyers to guess what that means.
And then you have people that won't respond to your offer if they deem it below this unnamed low ball line. That's really offensive. How is the buyer suppose to know you would deem the offer beneath your dignity to even reply to?
