    I dont lowbal but I have a good eye, I deal with tons of lowballers. The way I respond is very polite as I simply say ' Thank you for the kind offer, if I was to sell for that price I would be found guilty of murdering money'

    Those types have always been around. With the economy as it is, people look at it as another way to make some coin is all. People who fall on hard times will sell anything to generate some cash flow, and certainly some are more than happy to help them out in that regard.

    In America we call it Capitalism.
    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Indeed....but a lot of buyers today assume everyone who lists a piece at a decent price is under duress and willing to take low ball offers. Hence the OP's complaint. Doesn't hurt to tell some to go pound sand imho.

    It is like walking up to a women cutting to the chase and just asking for sex. You most likely get slapped a lot, but you get more takers than not asking at all....lol. Yet I agree, this is not the place for low ballers.

    Here is a response I got from a hardcore lowballer the other day "I worked at a AV store from 1994 to 2011 and we were dealers. So screw you Don't ever call someone a liar when you don't know"

    Sometimes a lowballer comes across a guy like me and I break them :D

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Capitalism, characterized by the following: private property ownership exists; individuals and companies are allowed to compete for their own economic gain.

    Buy low sell high, this is what low ballers hope to accomplish.

    An old man drawing his last few breaths before all capital is worthless and we move on! Everyone is desperate these days, including the big boys so their behavior can only get worse till it all fails.
