Have you ever been blocked by an E seller here?

I think that's why some sellers block low-ballers...

@mahler123............I am the original poster and in no way was I whining or complaining. I was simply asking if I was the only one. However, I have learned one thing and that is to stay away from anything you may be selling. If you have nothing nice or constructive to say, then say nothing.  

@uberwaltz...............

Thank you for coming to my defense, appreciated. 

I just recalled a listing with a 'Make offer', which I did- $1000 less than the listed price. (Originally, $8,500).
The seller offered the original price in response.
When I asked, ' Why offer a 'Make offer', if you want only your asking price, he/she replied that ' I have “make offer” because I have to qualify buyers'.
If anyone can make sense of that response, let me know.
Needless to say, I wouldn't buy anything from that dealer, no matter how good a deal I got.

I truly believe I have run into the same seller or if not one with the same mindset.
The way I understood his response in my situation was....
They did not want just a.n.other buying their gear direct without " feeling them out" hence the make offer tactic.

You make a too low offer and they then figure you may be a "problem" buyer and not worth dealing with.

That was my take anyway.

I think there are valid reasons to use make an offer, but ad should state price is firm.
