What is "low ball"

A lot of ads say something to the effect "no lowballers please". So I'm curious what people think is "lowball".

I'm looking for a percentage from people. I'm thinking less than 75% of asking price is where "low ball" kicks in, but I'm interested in what the general consensus is (if there is one).

there is no quantitative answer, since "low ball" is a matter of perception.

i'd say there is some threshold, which when reached insults the seller. when the seller responds , say, angrily to an offer, it's probably a very low price.
