New way of dealing with Low Ballers?

Sometimes lowballers are resellers. Just ignore them and be patient until you find a more serious person.

Elizabeth, what does ROFLMAO mean?

"Rolling On the Floor Laughing My Ass Off."

I believe that Elizabeth was signaling that she -- unlike Jaxwired and perhaps others in group -- found her own comment very amusing.

I didn't mean to start another "lowball" thread (tho I often find them entertaining); I was mostly curious about whether once could get negative feedback for making an offer that a sensitive seller (henceforth "noballer," per Sebrof) finds inappropriate.

Cheers,

John

It looks like the new system does allow sellers to leave feedback for anyone that makes an offer. I can't imagine a time when I would feel the need to do that. I have at times, depending on my mood, responded to offers so low they were beyond crazy. I usually say something like "good one, for a second I thought you were serious"

I recently sold some amps and had plenty of low ballers. When the offers came in, I just replied "No, but thanks for looking" and moved on.

>Polk< "tell them you'll let them know by tuesday...2035". How about letting them know by the twelfth..."The Twelfth of Never"! (an old Johnny Mathis song).
I'd sold antiques when many attempted bad lowballing, even when OBO was not an offered option.
Occasionally someone would notice a vintage watch I was wearing and make an attempt at purchasing it. Upon informing them that it is not currently on the market, they would try pushing me, something like " cmon what will you take for it" or "everything has a price", etc. I would then answer.. "ok, I'll sell it, just pick your favorite number and keep adding zeros untill I tell you to stop". That always ends the discussion! HA
