Are you getting ridiculous offers from new members

Agreed. Just pass onh them. Since early 2003 or so, I’ve always gotten tire kickers. Some folks feel ads here are fair game to ask for ridiculous lowball prices on good gear whenever they please. Like it s a flea market or midnight auto sale.

Not having been in the buying and selling mode lately though, as memory serves, it did not seem to matter if the folks asking for me to give something away were new, or not.

It seemed to matter more on who, than anything else.

If the offer is rude. I don’t reply at all. Well, not anymore.

Merry Christmas

Yes, all the time.  Nothing new unfortunately. 

thanks, I wasn't talking so much about just a low offer, they can offer what they want, but this adds in that I am a scam artist, that my prices are way out of line, that it must be a hoax, that I am no smarter than his horse, etc. AND he was registered under multiple names sending different variations of the above. I blocked him and Audiogon suspended him, but this is the first time I ever received anything like that on this site. Hope it is not a trend.

If you think that was bad, try selling high end watches.

Member since 2001.  Recent activity is FULL  of low ball offers and insinuation that the item is A: Fake, B: Broken, C: Overpriced like the emperor's new clothes or D:  Sounds so bad that it should be sent to audio purgatory for eternal damnation.  Generally from members of less than 6 months and have zero feedback.  I just ignore them or send a light hearted "get bent".
