What is "low ball"


A lot of ads say something to the effect "no lowballers please". So I'm curious what people think is "lowball".

I'm looking for a percentage from people. I'm thinking less than 75% of asking price is where "low ball" kicks in, but I'm interested in what the general consensus is (if there is one).

If one is offended by any part of a transaction, they should probably not be selling on the internet or anywhere else for that matter. Really, has some folks skin grown that thin? Take the advice of Nancy Reagan.... just say no !!!!!

I'm all for a good deal, but I'll destroy something first or donate it to the needy before caving in to bottom feeders.

I'm needy, what ya got?
Classic scam to procure your personal information. Do not even respond to it.
Is this lowballing or just the "Art of Negotiation"?

Guy: “If I gave you a million dollars, would you sleep with me?”

Girl: “A million dollars is a lot of money, and you don’t look that bad, so I guess I would consider it”

Guy: “Ok, since I don’t have a million dollars, would you sleep with me for $100?”

Girl: (outraged) “What kind of girl do you think I am?”

Guy: “We’ve already established the answer to that question. Now we’re just negotiating the price”
