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).

Is this lowballing or just the "Art of Negotiation"?

Guy: “If I gave you a million dollars, would you sleep with me?”

Girl: “A million dollars is a lot of money, and you don’t look that bad, so I guess I would consider it”

Guy: “Ok, since I don’t have a million dollars, would you sleep with me for $100?”

Girl: (outraged) “What kind of girl do you think I am?”

Guy: “We’ve already established the answer to that question. Now we’re just negotiating the price”
