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).

If a buyer thinks they can pay whatever they want, then step up to the plate and pay retail...unless you don't have enough to be in the hobby to begin with. If something is priced too high the seller is a bad guy, but if the seller steps down to a lowball price, he's now a good guy. There are enough freeloaders in the world already.
When the seller refuses to lower their price, they ARE tyhe ones with the gold, not the buyer that can't pay retail.
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.
