Audiogon Anti-Lowball Offer setting

Hey everyone,

I don’t know if you all saw this but I got an e-mail from A’gon stating they have a new feature in place to hinder insane lowball offers.

After you log in go to your Account and select Edit Account. Then scroll down in the Policies section there is a check box to automatically reject lowball offers.


Policies

Lowball offers

Automatically reject offers below 55% of your asking price,

I wish this could be user specific. I would have set this to 45% off of listing price for my tastes but it is a start for Audiogon.

Thanks

agree with Maplegrove. unless you are a dealer the lowball offer is really not even a nuisance. it does seem as their are more offers for 50%+ off asking price, there are also mant used items where the asking price is 15% off MSRP, actually more than the item would cost new...

the Audiogon policy that if you make a counter offer, you cannot accept other offers for 48 hours also makes it more difficult...

A seller can just say no. There are no ridiculous offers. If you don't like an offer say no thanks.

Well after close to a year since this thread has started I have found what the vultures are doing now to get around the setting is just messaging you their lowball offers. They don't even greet you or say anything. They just blurt out their offer. Oh well this is the times we live in.

You can always counteroffer with a price 50% higher than your asking price.
This always seems to be fairly amusing.   ;^)
