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).

Another lowball part of this thread is the family counseling.

I like to go to urban dictionary for most of my slang:

When I list something, I put free shipping and no paypal fee with price firm. This blocks out all lowballers without saying no lowballers. I have always sold listing this way. I think it takes more balls to ask for the buyer to pay for paypal.
Don't be sad Herman, she'll get over it, and I already have. Lowballers have nothing to lose, and I'm just not into the Leave it to Beaver lifstyle. You have to make it with or without someone.

Polk, I'm pretty sure Herman is not saying he is sad, meaning unhappy or depressed, over your situation. He's saying your situation/attitude/outlook is sad, meaning pitiful, pathetic or unenviable.
But you ain't gonna get it.
I'm happy the way things are, and hope others are too. There's just no way anyone will convince me that I should cater to lowballers. I really don't feel my attitude is sad pathetic or uneviable at all. Being happy just to be able to see, hear, and use all of my limbs is good enough for me. Making the sacrifices that I have to keep from being a burden to society isn't exactly what I call the sign of a loser. If people are in debt, that was their choice. No lowballers please. I agree with Yogiboy on paypal.

It is called courtesy.

No, it is called negotiation.

if someone asks you your bottom line and you give it to them, then don't bother offering lower because it is the bottom line.

That's not the way the way the real world works. When you give your bottom line you may be firm, but a lot of people respond with a price higher than they are ultimately willing to take. Since I don't have any idea whether you are firm or not I have to offer lower to find out. Again, it is called a negotiation.

If you are so easily offended then don't negotiate. Say so in the first place and list it firm then ignore anything below your price. Once you open the door to a negotiation it is ridiculous to get "offended" at an offer, any offer.
