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?

I have a process that I follow before and during selling.This is just my opinion.

1. When pricing your item don't look at what sellers listing price.  Look for the "sold or complete" price on all websites to get your base price to list. Many sellers will list a ridiculous price and they think this is what the market pricing is. 

2. Unless the price is firm; I will accept an offer with a 15% and 20% less. This is retail sales standard practice. Some sellers believe that 10% is a great discount, but in my opinion,10% is not an exciting offer to give for items under $500.
