A respected moderator recently made this comment on a thread.
"Some folks are just compelled to get that extra $10 knocked off the price. It is a win for them.
If I see something I want and agree with the posted price I will respond I will take it and then work out the details.
A few times I have made offers but never ridiculous low balls."
The good gentleman referred to "ridiculous low balls." My question: What constitutes "ridiculous low balls"?
Is it a percentage of the asking price? Is it based on what the item sells for new? Does it include the cost of shipping?
If I ask $300 + shipping and someone replies "I'll give you $150+$40 shipping. You can keep the accessories and sell them separately for additional cash", is that low balling?
Just curious. How does determine at what point one can be insulted over an offer and call it "low ball"?
