What is "low ball"

So in other words, give it away.

.

Your straw man argument is idiotic. Please quit making things up and attributing them to me.

I said you should not get offended by an offer. I did not suggest you had to accept it.

.

Let me put it another way. If that person opened with their offer, I would have negotiated and not had a problem with the offer. We certainly would never have reached an agreement though. The bottom line is not known until you get there. When my best offer is asked, I have already negotiated against myself. Negotiations are done at that point, period. No different than your suggestion of listing a firm price.It is exactly that, firm. If that price is too high, look elsewhere. Don't ask for a significant reduction from the lowest price. That is a lack of courtesy. I have negotiated deals many times on this site without incident. Many were successful, some were not. This was the only incident that I have felt that way, so don't tell me I have thin skin. One thing I certainly do when my best price is asked since that incident, is ask the buyer to make their offer. I will not negotiate against myself again. At that point, we can negotiate or not. If the sale doesn't happen, no big deal. If you still don't understand my POV, I don't really care.

A-men.

Folks,
