I feel the same way @bubba12. What does it take to say no to a “lowball”? One second? Often if you thank people for their interest and politely decline the item now becomes something they can’t have and naturally they want it more. Then they can’t let it go and negotiations start. I’ve often made reasonable sales that started with a “lowball”. Anybody who lists an item for sale and notes “lowballs will be ignored” is potentially missing lots of opportunities to sell. Not very smart.
Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings?
If you have the 'offer' feature activated then what's the problem with any offer. Comments like 'lowball' offers will be ignored just gives me a bad vibe. If your item has been up for sale then there is no insulting offer. I've made deals with people starting far apart and coming together. If you haven't noticed the audio market seems to have come to a standstill. Any opinions?
