What is "low ball"

Apparently Elizabeth has never used audiogon to sell anything. Her stance is ridiculous.

You are only half right as Elizabeth has sold items. ;)

I agree with the first poster in that it depends on the asking price and how realistic the asking price is. I just sold an item which I listed for $650 OBO. I received three offers, $400 (lowball), $550 and $600. I accepted the $600 offer as that was my target. Unfortunately, with the new system I could not communicate with the other potential buyers once the offer was accepted. Oh yeah, the item sold the day it was listed.

Polk432 is my new hero!

If you offer less than the selling price and don't get a reply, take the hint.

Hell, I've offered asking price and not received an answer more than once.

I was called a lowballer by a seller once. My offer was asking price but stipulated seller pay shipping and absorb paypal fees. The item was marked OBO. Maybe he thought best offer would be more than his asking price.

Don't be sad Herman, she'll get over it, and I already have. Lowballers have nothing to lose, and I'm just not into the Leave it to Beaver lifstyle. You have to make it with or without someone.

Polk, I'm pretty sure Herman is not saying he is sad, meaning unhappy or depressed, over your situation. He's saying your situation/attitude/outlook is sad, meaning pitiful, pathetic or unenviable.
But you ain't gonna get it.
