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

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.

"sorry, but no" or "sorry, but thanks for the offer"

I try to acknowledge.  You never know, they might come to their senses.

More than a few have comeback with better offers.

If others want to use their free time responding to lowball offers, then by all means do it. Personally, some offers a too low to merit a response and I find them somewhat insulting really. Then again, I always try to offer what I am selling slightly on the low end of the going rate and hope for a quick sale.

(1) in 99% of circumstances, the lowball shot across the bow is just a harbinger of a crummy tire kicker trolling, …. with no tangible intention to actually buy it unless he stumbles across an uninformed seller making a mistake or desperate to sell fast in the extreme , …. = don’t waste your time and don’t feed the troll for these fairy tales .

(2) Buyer is now egregiously insulting Seller’s knowledge of fair and proper audio market prices and ignores all fair value decorum conversation = IMO negligible odds of every striking a deal. IMO this is a good reason to just block him out and remove him from every contacting you again which removes a habitual time waster from your orbit .
