Is a offer of -20 percent on an OBO ad insulting?

I made a offer 20% below the sellers asking price on a Krell last night. The seller emailed that I shouldn't waste his time with such a ridiculous offer and that he was blocking me from his email list. Was I out of line?

If he thinks his gear commands a PARTICULAR price then he has to state it as PRICE IS FIRM, not OBO. Let's not waste time with that sort of sellers; there are lots of gears on sale by others..

Otherwise, he shouldn't have listed the ad that way. Anyway, he sounds like your typical audio snob, probably a salesman in a high-end audio store. Besides, Krell is way over priced for what is essentially a big power supply. Jim
