Audiogon Anti-Lowball Offer setting

" Automatically reject offers below 55% of your asking price "  &   " I would have set this to 45% off of listing price ".     What's the difference, as they equal the same discount(just different semantics)?    I have to agree, lowballers are annoying and letting the seller determine the acceptable knock-off rate would be a good practice.    

Once again, Audiogon sticking it's nose where it doesn't belong. A "low ball" offer can develop through productive discussions. Too much policing again and anything to get their fees.

Selling an item for $1000 . Twenty percent ($200) is max i would even consider if listed conservatively . 

Feel free to serve up low ball offers to anyone selling overpriced cables though 

To me this lowball offer setting is like eBay’s auto decline offer setting but the only difference is the user can set the tolerance while here it is fixed. Definitely there is room to bargain in any sale but IMO the lowballing has just gotten out of control across all selling sites. I’ve listed all sorts of items on various selling sites. Before listing and setting my starting price I look at comparable completed sales, take the average of those sales and list at that price. To me that is a fair market value price. Then as soon as I list I get 50% to 70% off of that price constantly. I wish I was like TonyKay and others that can just let BS not bother them but after awhile of constant BS I start getting very angry. It gets frustrating when you research to set a fair price and repeatedly get slapped in the face with lowball offers. It is such a waste of time. I’m beginning to laugh at the stupidity of the offers but there are times my patience just wears thin.

To me this lowball offer setting will make the A’gon user experience a lot better and deter the idiot bottom feeders. At least that is what I hope will happen.
