"Sorry to lowball you"

[biker_bill]

Too disgruntled!

Remember you ASKED!
(And I'm not apologizing by saying, "Sorry, you asked", cause you seem to have a problem with that part!)

Yup, lighten up. There is no "low ball" schedule of prices that any two people on here would accept, much less the forum members as a whole.

If you don't like it, reject it politely.

I will look at any offer.
Helps me rethink if what I have for sale is priced right.
Also if I do decide to lower the price I can PM them back and ask if they would be interested at the new price.

I also like off the wall trade offers. I just might have not known I needed that.

I had people show up asking for change or take the lower denomination. I also had a guy show up and said he was short a buck or two.

At least they were considerate to say they were sorry. worst you say is no. try driving a few miles to have someone come up with a "dooooh...i didn't have any change look."

I just sent a similar message to a seller because I felt like an ass but it's all I could afford. We worked out the deal.

Conversely I have sent people a message saying I will give them xx and they thought I was an ass.

It's all in the delivery and if you are sincere which I am.

Why do people send you PMs saying: "Sorry to lowball you, but will you take....."? You're not sorry, that's why you're sending it. Are you so spineless you can't make a real offer, or just have the guts to ask without the apology?

I recently had a rifle for sale, and recieved quite a few of these. I don't mind a lowball offer, just be a man when you make your offer. Does apologizing when offering make you feel better about it? I probably would have let it go for one of those lowball offers, but couldn't sell it to someone that couldn't man up and ask without the apology.

Am I too disgruntled? Or does this **** you off too?

It doesn't matter what it is that you are offering for sale.....if you were selling a pre 64 Super Grade model 70 for $100, somebody would come up, and offer you $95....it is the most crazy thing I've seen....if you don't like the price....just follow it, and when the price comes down, to your liking, buy it.....I do not haggle....if I don't like the price, I simply don't buy it...I figure the seller has enough since to offer the item, at a price they are willing to part with it for.

Yea really, bring the money that needs to be paid with you!
I have like 40 trades and one guy said I'll take it, but I have to go to the bank! Lol
Did he think I was going to rob him?
I'm a nice guy!

Any offer is just that, an offer. If you don't want to negotiate, put your stupid high price on it and say it is "firm". Then no one will offer you anything.
