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).

I'm all for a good deal, but I'll destroy something first or donate it to the needy before caving in to bottom feeders.

I'm needy, what ya got?

I said needy not greedy! Unempolyment, food stamps, and welfare (for those 88% that don't need it) get a crystal radio. Get a haircut and get real job, and maybe get a tube crystal radio instead of ss.

And then you have people that won't respond to your offer if they deem it below this unnamed low ball line. That's really offensive.<<

Could be.

However, it is no more offensive than an offer that is 20% of the asking price.

That occurs more than you might expect.

IMO
