I don't lowball .. But asking price should be fair .. I seldom ask for something less than the asking price.. Maybe free shipping or split .. It just depends .. This is not whining .. It's an observation .. Been a member since 2000.. Have bought a... 
Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase
Yes , I always lied.. But when drinking I would tell her the truth... Never do it! After that , it didn't matter how obscure ... cable, wire and cartridges were all noticed... I have slowed down buying but for a while it was perpetual..
