What is "low ball"


A lot of ads say something to the effect "no lowballers please". So I'm curious what people think is "lowball".

I'm looking for a percentage from people. I'm thinking less than 75% of asking price is where "low ball" kicks in, but I'm interested in what the general consensus is (if there is one).

Low ballers are just attempting to be savy shoppers, they dont owe the seller anything. Do you try to lowball offer on a home, a car, a service? You do if your smart. The game is to save money on anything you buy, a seller can accept or decline but to not even ask is way dumber than any question about how low a seller will go. Simply being insulted about not making the money you want on a sale doesnt make the buyer stupid for trying his best to get the lowest price possible.
How dumb do you have to be to not see the value of a good deal? Just be polite, respectful and move on if its not working out...thats a two way street incase some didnt see that as obvious.
I think the sellers are trying to discourage the Neanderthal type of buyer. The more or preferred term would be "no knuckle draggers."
Instead the usage of the politically incorrect term referring to another part of the anatomy is in poor taste and unprofessional, IMO.
Chadnliz, there's nothing wrong with a good deal that benefits the buyer and seller, but I didn't retire at 49 by letting people walk all over me when I made sales. I'm not against shoppers, just people that think that they are entitled to things for nothing. I'm never insulted when a prospect offers something so low that they are not fit to be responded to. I dropped my selling price by 500.00 just to prove that the person complaining couldn't afford the item in the first place.

In other words, your a "professional lowballer".
