Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"?

@sbayne "no low ballers" are frequently asking outrageous prices and 30% is middle of the road. 

I look at low ball offers as pretty disrespectful but I doubt those that do so really care. Personally I don't respond because that gives them some attention and I'm not going to even give an inkling of support to their ridiculousness. 

I lowball occasionally.  When I do, I really don't care about the item that much, or if my offer is accepted.   I certainly don't expect it to be accepted. I mostly do it in case the seller is desperate or they simply want the item gone.  Also sometimes to show what I think of a greedy seller of an overpriced item.

My personal experience when selling is this.  When a lowball offer has been made, I usually look at the persons buy/sell history.  Often, you find a person who has bought  a lot of stuff.  More than is reasonable for personal use, and has sold about the same.  So I've got a lowball offer from someone who intends to buy and flip at a profit?  For me that just reinforces the notion I am asking the right amount as someone else thinks they can also sell for more.  And enough to make it worth their while.  My thought for the day.  Cheers.

I’m absolutely ROTFLMFAO at most of these replies. The Selling Cabal that ordains, "I’m insulted by offers that God Himself deems as Low Balling, therefore the Serf doesn’t deserve the sweat off my brow", can happily be one of those listings I’ve seen on Audiogon for months upon months, never altering their price and never selling, as far as I can tell.

Hopefully their gear is happy, sitting in storage, gathering dust and going unused, while similar gear owned by Audiophiles who understand the art of negotiating finds new homes and starts to bring musical joy to a new owner as the "Circle of Gear Life" is renewed (cue the theme to "The Lion King").  Or....it's all a ruse.  They don't want to sell their gear, but listing it keeps the spouse at bay.  "Honey, I'm  TRYING to sell it -- look, it's been listed for 12 months and I STILL don't have any legitimate offers (cough, cough)!"
