What to do with very low offer on an item for sale

@retiredaudioguy - A couple of other points:

Your ad title, "Cardas Golden reference interconnect" is incorrect as the cables shown in the image are in fact Cardas Golden Cross.  You have it correct in your text but you should fix the title.

Regarding pricing. I just purchased a pair of 0.5M long Golden Reference ICs with XLR connectors for $300, so your potential buyer's offer was probably not out of line.  Also, if you look on hifishark (link) at all former sales of CGC ICs at 0.5M with RCAs, you will see that five pair sold between 2023 and 2018 at prices ranging from $280 to $225.

@mitch2 They ARE Golden Reference.  In that era Golden Cross were blue (I have two pairs of those also).

Has an image of the Golden Reference - and a counterfeit.

They were purchased from the CableCompany in the late '90s.  Cardas later changed the color to Black.

I just say "no"

That one word can convey many different sentiments, for example it could mean:

- no, don't waste my time with your games

- no, go take a hike

- no, why do I even bother responding to guys like you

- no, WTF

- no, can you sense the annoyance

You get the idea

That's pretty much the same sentiment.

when the offer is super low, I usually play along and respond with an even lower counter.
