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?

IMO it's to avoid the buyer that wants something for next to nothing. Not all sellers are destitute, maybe they don't want the audio room or storage area looking like a cluttered repair shop. I have several boxed items to sell but don't want any dealings with buyers having a garage sale mentality.

Life is nothing  but negotiating. Morning to night. From the day your born to the day you die.  The 3 r's are second compared on how to negotiate. A low ball offer on Monday might look real good the following Monday, buy it was missed. It is said sometime the customer is king, I say he is God. Nothing happens without a buyer no matter the price. Pricing can be  is very difficult. Market and taste change very quickly. Price is what you pay value is what you get.  The world of  negotiating can be ruthless. The subject is endless and the hunt can be the best part. Anticipation is greater the realization. The issue with audio equipment is the it is all purchased from discretionary income. No body is really hungry.

Sounds like a page from a Grant Cardone book...Sell or Be Sold!
