"Sorry to lowball you"

[Cadcom]

You hurt my feelings, reported

Well you kicked me in my lowballs!

That's a burger! They just don't give them away.

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?

I never "low ball" anyone. I make an offer, they can take it or leave it. We are all still amigos.

I mean, the seller isn't apologizing for asking $100 more for the gun than new out the door at Academy. Funny, "low balling" is an ODT/internet sin, but gouging isn't.

BUT send me a snotty PMl calling me a "low baller", and I get right testy.

As opposed the guys who act like they are doing you a favor by giving you a ridiculous offer?

I resemble that remark.

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.

Yeah, BUT

my fav is the guy who blows off your offer, then a month, maybe two later, with no takers, comes out of the blue "you still interested." As a matter of principal, no.

 

[gh1950]

It is called, negotiating. If you don't want to haggle, negotiate, just say your price is firm. You will then get 651 views and no replies.

And then you can complain about all the views and no offers.

Anything starts with

I am sorry too or but

Is not sorry
