"What's Your Best Price?"

Maybe it's just coincidence, but I have experienced an increasing number of buyers lately whose only question is "what's your best price?" in response to an "OBO" listing. Should such moronic inquiries simply be ignored -- or is there an appropriate/productive response?

Jmcrogan2, I used to work for someone who said if something is not selling, raise the price. It often works to instill a greater perceived value in the item, as well as giving the hagglers a chance to do their thing.
