What is "low ball"

I basically list everything at my lowest possible price. On very rare occasions I will take a little less. Unless I'm missing it somewhere when I list, there is no way to list it as "firm" anymore. Even when that feature was available on the old system, I still would get offers. Now, I usually have to list things as "buyer can only make offers" It doesn't mean I will take less. I do this because we sell retail, and at other sites. If I have one player, and it sells somewhere else, I don't want someone on Agon hitting buy it now, only to find out I don't have the piece any longer. With the way the wording is now, and they way I have to list, it's just a green light for people to make crazy offers. I get more "lowball" offers now than I care to think about. I sure miss the old system, but I won't even get started on that.

This thread is a hoot. People really don't know what "low ball" offer is? Heres an example. I list something that sold for $3500 retail. Granted, you could get it for a bit less, probably, when new. Say 10%. I put it at $1400. No paypal fees, free shipping. One year warranty. I get an offer of $400$ Is that a lowball offer? I'd say. Is it insulting? To me, yes. Anyone that wants to sell me things for about 10 cents on the dollar, charge no fees, or shipping, and give me a one year warranty, just email. I'll take it all. I still reply, but, I know it won't work out before I do. I buy thing's, and I sometimes make a RESONABLE offer. Usually, if the seller is realistic, and I think it's a good deal, I buy it. If you can't do that, stick to garage sales, and flea markets. You are NOT going to buy a 5k amp on here for $500. Don't waste both the sellers, and your time. It really is ridiculous. On another note, I guess I never knew "lowball" had anything to do with anatomy.
