not so, sir! They do walk among us… and yes, there ARE some selective very insulting offers.
This forum used to have an embedded honor code for members, that’s regrettably long gone now. Some older members (me included) don’t share in any positive manner of “throw all the lowball shite against the wall, and WTF…let’s see what sticks”.
Capriciously throwing around nickels like they are manhole covers can ( and frequently will…) be received by Seller as very insulting to Seller’s knowledge of market price, sense of mutual fair play, and trashing of respect for a fellow hobbyist. These events can degrade it to a big insulting time waster. With the massive gap between parties, it’s a big clash that is largely insurmountable, and I have yet to see either party walking it back.[ Note: I’m assuming that the unit is fairly priced supported by empirical market precedent and excludes any dufus Seller stunt who grossly inflates his asking price out of greed or ignorance)
I sell mostly on CAM, and the occasional insulting offers from perceived bottom feeders are getting more common .
PROBLEM SOLVED ON CAM. (Practice not just me ….)
After getting them simply blocked out of the listing and also from all future communication with Seller, it may also be stapled with an implied pejorative slang profanity derived from GENESIS 9:7.
