Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings?

@jond i am pondering your generous offer, i can get back to you with my counter in a decade or so. Look for an email from getoffmylawngrouchyaudiophile.org

Thanks for making my Dad’s day……

My trip to the Honda dealer for service reveals a $40 k Civic with $10% ADM tacked on as the starting point…… I think Mike makes good points, good faith is essential…on both sides….

The ADM on a G wagon at the local Benz dealer was 40%. Glad i got ours when buyers had more sway……

So correct, i would never sell my 1961 MC240 at 95% of retail ( $199 )…. i will let Dad know he overpaid….

Unrealistic expectations are the domain of both buyers and sellers….

99% of your first post proves you will fit right in @vivivisrth8 

a few hundred off a $5k item isn’t insulting…… in my book anyway… but I am not well versed in Genesis…. 30% would have me looking in the hotel drawer…
