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?

Since this is a used gear site, the art of bargaining and negotiating is in full swing. If I list a unit for, say, $2K, and someone offers $1100. I'm not insulted; I just counter with $1950. That either silences them or they climb the steep hill and offer something closer to the asking price. 

But if I want $2K for my unit, then I'm not going to list it for $2K.
