Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"?

I always respond with a sorry but this is my lowest I will go. I always respond and feel it is my obligation and courtesy as a seller.  I treat emails no different than an in person discussion. I don’t take low offers personally as an insult and have made sales this way as well.  Some sellers including me can overprice their item and a lowball offer may be closer to real market value and a compromise can be struck.   I can’t explain why others choose not to respond with a simple email. Have to ask those who choose not to explain why?

I tried low-balling a house for sale that was 40% cheaper 2 years ago. Realtors Inc. conspired to increase home prices by ludicrous amounts after Covid. Needless to say, I got no reply.

It comes down to personal style and preference, we all have our own personal operating code that works for each of us - it doesn’t need to be one size fits all.

If the offer was a total insult I ignore it.  However, for the most part, I will counter.  What really pisses me off is when I counter and they accept and then they say I will send the money after my check clears in two days and then they go dark.  Why waste my time if you are really not going to buy the component?  This happened to me last month.

Respectfully, I don't believe that any realty company, no matter how large can control the real estate market. There are many factors that affect pricing; supply and demand being one of the biggest.
