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


I am pretty new to selling on Audiogon and with a component I have received an offer of 25% of the price; I had chosen a price, including shipping, at the low end of what I have seen on HiFi shark.

If someone with more experience than I could help; do I ignore it or come back with a sensible (10% perhaps) discount on my price.

Thanks for advice

If it’s a ridiculous offer, counter with an offer 10% higher than what you are asking.

I’ve told people I’ll donate the item before selling it anywhere near their price or just tell them I’m in no hurry in selling it. You would be surprised how many times they came back with a more reasonable offer after this.

BTW: PayPal friends and family is not as secure as you think it is. There are so many things to watch out for, you could write a small book on protecting yourself. Things drastically change when you sell overseas too. Watch out!

I would have thought you were a Mad Dog 20/20 guy.

I've said this before, but unlike eBay or Craigslist, Agon is supposed to be a gentleman's/gentlewoman's site whose unspoken rules include not making silly offers. Those strokes that defy said rules don't warrant a response.
