What is "low ball"

wow,

You've posted 36 times to this thread so far, repeating the same theme multiple times. Freud would have a field day with you.

We get it, you've got yours and to hell with anybody who does not. You are a superior being because you made a lot of money and people who are struggling should not be bothering you.

BTW, how did you calculate 88% of those on welfare don't need it?

Herman, I do not have any more than anyone else. This is supposed to be about unacceptable lowballing. The reason some people have less than others is because they can't control their spending and expext someone else to make up the difference. Not that I feel that I have to explain to you or anyone else, but if you don't manage your money, it'll manage you. As far as the few that really deserve to be on welfare, (ask anyone that collects) the Gov. makes it too easy. They people that can work feel it is not in their best interest to work 40 hours a week just to make a few extra dollars. 88% is a lowball figure. Happy listening.

First reaction is how can you say you have no more than others when you retire at 49 and most people live in debt? I'm doing OK myself but realize how fortunate I am to be in the situation I'm in.

So I'm thinking;;; I really don't know you, maybe I'm taking your rants about welfare cheats, whiners, and bottom feeders the wrong way so I look at your other responses and find this response about dealing with wives and girlfriends.

Stay out of debt, always make sure you have more money than her (so you can stick it to her how much more responsible you are than her) and keep separate bank accounts. Then go out and buy what ever the hell you want. Remember to hide your gold. Happy listening.

When I got to that I understood. No wonder you have such contempt for lowballers when your idea of a good relationship is one built on dominance and deception. If you don't see how that is wrong on so many levels we will never be able to see eye to eye.

Wish I had seen that earlier so wouldn't have wasted my time trying to reason with you.

Money means nothing. You can't buy your health with it. I feel rich because I have use of both my eyes, ears, and have use of all of my limbs. I've seen my share of those who don't, and they're still standing if you know what I mean. As far as relationships go, domination is only a bedroom thing for some. People don't come with guarantees, so if things don't work out, I don't want to be out any more than my ex. Why should I? Some people are just screw ups when it comes to money and/ or responsibilities. If I want big ugly speakers and pay for them, why not. If she pays for ugly drapes and likes them, I'm not going to complain. I may not have as much as a lot of people, but I'm happy for what I do have. I sure hope all the bad guys on Smackdown win tonight. Happy listening.

I've had multiple low offers that have ended up resulting in a sale thru negotiation. As others have said, you never know. I alway leave myself some wiggle room between what I would like to get and what I am willing to accept. I pay attention to listing prices for gear I own on the chance that I may sell it. I price items near the middle of the going range and allow for condition.

I've only been low balled by one potential buyer. I had an item for sale and was asked the dreaded "What's your best price?" question. I gave an answer which was about $300 less (for a $2000 item) than what I was asking and was lower than I had ever seen it go for. This person responded with an offer that was 25% lower than my offer. I did not respond back. After several days I was asked if I received the offer. I responded by asking if my lowest offer had been received. I never heard from that person again. Certainly, that was both low ball and offensive. I have no desire to deal with people like that but realize that to a certain extent it goes with the territory of buying and selling online.
