Define "Lowball"

We had a yard sale recently , my wife is a pretty good negotiator. A guy was buying a number of things and wanted something she had priced @ $22 He offered $15 I think
She counted at $20 he went to $18 she said OK he then said how @ $17
She said very quickly ok lets make it $19

He gave her $18
 
IMG_3258.JPG I consider most things negotiable. I can say no , you can say no.
 
When I worked in the estate liquidation business I used a clean out crew headed up by a man named Sam. Sam used to have a yard sale about twice a year and he would sell items that he cleaned out of the Estates that the sales crew were unable to sell to antique dealers or other customers. I love going to his sales because when somebody would lowball his already rock-bottom prices he would pick the item up say a crystal vase or Bowl and just drop it onto the pavement and tell the low baller now you can have it for $0.50.
 
If you send a offer and never get a response. I'm sure you will figure out why.
i have gotten to a point that i use the ignore button. if you dont have a second to pm,no thanks. i dont worry about what you have for sale anymore.
a pm takes a second, if you dont want to negotiate..... open a store...

nothing personal bypass...
 
Based on the ones I've received......
Any offer from any buyer that will turn a quick $150. profit, most expect more.
 
ok
lets say it.
your $500 glock with $400 worth of upgrades is no longer worth $900. maybe 650.
you dont get all you money back. but your $600 remmy 700 sps ($479 for varmint) with a $100 scope will never be worth $1200, or even $800.
