Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings?


If you have the 'offer' feature activated then what's the problem with any offer. Comments like 'lowball' offers will be ignored just gives me a bad vibe. If your item has been up for sale then there is no insulting offer. I've made deals with people starting far apart and coming together. If you haven't noticed the audio market seems to have come to a standstill. Any opinions?

I am usually more interested in the quality of the buyer so as to avoid the risk of problems after the sale, which is a practice that has served me well here for over 20 years.

A very good point. I've always been a value shopper, not a price shopper. 

The difference is when you purchase directly from the manufacturer/factory shipping damage is taken care of by having them ship out another new speaker but when buying used both the buyer and the seller are often SOL in the case of shipping damage.  Better to be safe.

Exactly! My first shipment of Tannoy’s got damaged. I was quite shocked to see the inadequacies in the packaging on a $30K speaker. The dealer end up replacing the damaged pair.

OK...you guys have talked me into passing on these speakers. Anyway, another pair is about the last thing i need.
