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 don't understand it.  Buyers want a bargain and sellers want as much as they can get, generally.  So what?  As a seller, if you get lowball offers, just say no.  No reason to get offended by it. Buyers can't  be faulted for trying to get a bargain.

I do not think many sellers  take offense to offers,  just a vocal few...

@jl35 Its amazing the number of sellers you will find that are overly proud of their gear.

I understand that oranda, though I think most realize this is no longer a "hobbyist" site,  but a very commercial site as well now...
