What you are running into may itself be a negotiating tactic. Acting as though you wouldn't consider and are insulted for having received such a "low ball offer" may just be another way of asking you or suggesting that you should increase your offer. Make whatever offer you feel comfortable with and it the seller doesn't like it you don't make the deal. The smart seller would try to negotiate but not all sellers feel the same.
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?

@gnaudio, “music a little less” our universal language. :-( Less communication and “more of that good stuff” is what brings us together, know? Maybe :-) |
Just to add, as a Seller I have a set price(ad)and lowest I am willing to accept. If need be, to help my ad along, I will offer "free shipping" in asking price "only" inside my country. It also depends on what I'm selling, a cable is free, a 60 lb amp not so much. If I come down in price during negotiations shipping cost and insurance always plays into it. PayPal fees are always mentioned in the ad and will be charged to the Buyer at going rate, "unless" it is sent as friend/family which is free to the Buyer. Last, negotiating is always part of the dance, and hopefully all parties leave the floor smiling and with each others phone numbers......
