Low balling

What do you call a midget wearing a gold chain?

Some folks just get their feelings hurt too easily.
I don't like to pay full price for anything, not even new.

I had to go for a physical yesterday and I was low balling pretty hard until I had to strip down in that cold ass examination room.

Everyone wants to buy low and sell high. To make a deal you have to arrive at a 'value' both parties can live with.

Not difficult.

If it doesn't say firm how are you supposed to know what they would actually take? What do guys consider a fair offer say on a 300$ gun that they are asking 325$

I had a rifle listed for $500.00.
A member offered me $400.00 i.
I said ok, I'll meet you in Eatonton and lt's deal.
He had some concern that I was going to be an ass about him "lowballing" me.
20% off the asking price isn't a lowball offer, I may not accept, but non the less not a lowball.

I have many rude inconsiderate asshats on Ignore, due to their lack of response to an offer.

Usually when I say "firm," that means I'm already taking a huge loss and I'm not willing to take any less than that.

Also, if someone lowballs but it isn't horrendously low, I'll play ball and counter offer. But if it's a ridiculous lowball, I won't waste my time with a reply.

If a guy is asking $600 for a $400 gun would $350 be considered lowballing or bringing a dose o reality to the OP?

I’ve started to realize it’s the ODT way. People don’t hesitate to offer me half my asking price so I may as well do the same. Might fall into a good deal.

You've been around long enough to know it wasn't always this way. Damn I miss the old days.
