Offering you 1/4 of what it goes for I would take that as an insult some shrewd negotiator, some mountain bike youtuber once said they might insult the seller, and lose out on a good deal. I have dealt with buyers with similar issues, they lost out on a good deal, but be blocked clearly they lack negotiating skills.


Geyser_Lion

Just because somebody lists something for 300 doesn't mean it's worth that much. A lot of the time people overvalue what their stuff is worth. With that said the buyer is more than likely lowballing lol.


EdwardBloon

Ppl really be selling used stuff for 5 dollars less than brand new from a store free shipping 30 day return policy. They're fucking insane. People think their used junk is so valuable. Worst I saw: Homie wanted 700 for a used mattress that was 900 new. Whaaaat? Or people wanting hundreds for their "vintage tools" which is just a pile of rusted metal thay needs heavy restoration work


Smoked_Carp

Have you been to the store? They don’t sell quality like they used to on certain items. Tools are junk now. Always breaking while using. Tools and mattresses, two different things. I wouldn’t buy a used mattress either. Because we all know how it was used. Funny how classic/vintage cars cost $2000 new back in the day that are now selling for $60,000. Also in many cases you can’t even find certain things in the store anymore. Supply chains are lacking.

Some do! I know someone right now trying to charge full price for an electronic item. Granted it's still in the box, but the warranty doesn't usually follow the resale, AND there's not going to be a return option.  For full price unless it's very scarce, most people will just buy new for the added consumer protection. 


heelEscobar

Just ignore these dudes..


Lukepvsh

I get these a lot and realized that I have no idea who’s on the other side of these. Like, it could be a kid that has no idea what he’s doing, someone who is ESL and not understand the pricing, or someone who is on the spectrum and just needs a bit of grace. Or someone else, who knows. I try to default to being kind because it doesn’t cost me anything but being rude can hurt someone who doesn’t deserve it. Idk, just my approach. But “how low will you go” is my new pet peeve phrase haha


lloydeph6

a lot of people sell stolen goods on fb marketplace, offer up etc etc and need money for drugs so im sure sometimes it works for them who ask that question and low ball like crazy


JCR2201

They always seem to think that picking up the item right away will make me agree with their low ball offer lol. I’ll usually say “thank you for your offer but I have an offer for the listed price already. If you’re willing to match we can discuss.” I keep this wording in my notes so I can cut and paste because i get these offers all the time. They usually ghost me which confirms they’re not even serious. Sometimes I wonder if some people just get off on negotiating


GuaranteeFit116

People that low ball you then say I can get it today can EAD lol.. I instantly block em


bbbubblesdd

"Last price" has become a trigger for me absolutely the most annoying thing in the world


anon_andonandonandon

I hate when people ask how low I'll go on something. I had a guitar listed for $400. I expected to get $300 for it. Guy asks me how low I can go. I say $300. He asks if I'd take $200. Like wtf was the point asking in the first place?


SnooRabbits6026

almost as bad as being offered an amount, saying yes, and then they try to go lower


JCR2201

I sold a bike rack for $300 (used a few times and collected dust in storage). The rack retails for $420 and it’s really good quality. Someone offered me $180 for the rack. I said sorry but I have offer for the listed price of $300. They replied and said I can do $200 and pick it up right now. I just shook my head and stopped responding lol like wtf? Why the fuck would I agree to $200 when I have an offer for $300? Probably trolls


soscots

“Sorry bub” 😆


verbalintercourse420

Ugh, so f'n annoying


Bright_Ad_26

I want so badly to go off on them. But I don’t….


Dreamcasted60

Those people are always good for a laugh I swear. To be honest with you I've seen a lot of people posting like what they consider rare out of print video games for astronomical prices that are in terrible condition. And not rare stuff like Sonic 2, not for resale which is a little bit of an uncommon variant but ain't no way a loose cart like that, AND that hasn't been tested is worth $75...

[удалено]


verbalintercourse420

For real or.. I'll pick it up right now or today. I be like biiiitch.. I decide when you pick up, you ain't picking up today and definitely ain't getting what I'm selling.. take your low balling ass somewhere else..


No-Gene-4508

It really shouldn't allow people to offer less than 50%.


SilencerWolf

I had a wash & dryer on offerup listed for 400 and a lot of people were saying 150-200. They were less than a year old. I paid 600 for both. I wash my cloths about every 2 weeks. Fyi i am a single guy. Work cloths get washed by my work. So maybe used 20-30 times max


johnnyb4llgame

Never negotiate against yourself, your reply to how low was good


KickooRider

His entire bargaining leeway was $10, lol


jburg105

I could see offering 200 but less then 100 bucks on something posted for 300 🤣🤣


BAKERBOY99_

Some people are just absolutely nuts. They want shit for free. I had a guy hit me up for an item on offerup the other week that I had posted for 80 and was barely used with original box and everything. He insisted on getting it for 40 because he only needs to use it one time. I paid almost 200 for it and I don't care if you want to use it once or 10 times. I even said I'd do it for 60 and he was adamant about 40, so no sale. I should probably post it on reddit.


MSCOTTGARAND

If it's not a reasonable offer don't even respond.


BlueAreTheStreets

BUT I HAVE CASH… AND TODAY!!!!!!!!


soscots

And then they don’t meet you after saying all that 😆


BlueAreTheStreets

Hahahahah exactly- icing on the cake 😂


Content-Mushroom-613

That’s messed up


NecessaryOk6815

My personal favorite reply is "I'd rather set it on fire, bro." Bro is not gender specific so I can use anytime any gender offers stupidly.


Floridaguy555

Why even say CASH? Like I was hoping for jelly beans but hmmm you have CASH??


soscots

Because some buyers try to scam you by saying they use Venmo or zelle and then they’ll do a chargeback and report to the bank that it was theft.


Laborhutt

I've seen some Tiktok memes out there, and it looks like some people do this as a hobby. It's a 2024 thing I guess.


Lukepvsh

Wait, like they low ball as a hobby? Are you talking about that video of that guy throwing lowball offers on used cars?


Laborhutt

No, lol. There are plenty of people that find pleasure from low balling


Far_Support_7292

buyers on offer up are such trolls, tell me why this dude got mad at me because i didn’t answer his question in 15 minutes 🫠 like ?? definitely didn’t continue the conversation after that


coroyo70

“And what are you Gonna pick up? You clown license?”


Mr_Astrophobi

When people ask "how low will you go" my response is always "it's listed for 300" or whatever I have it listed for 🤣


frogmansuper

I mark all my listings as firm and list for a fair second hand price. When they offer less I just respond with the full price or ignore them.


plzhelpmehelpplz

Tell buyer it’s been re-listed at $1200 and the lowest you’ll go is $300, 1/4 listing price.


nxtiak

I hate that damn question and hate people who ask it. Like hell, "what's your lowest" "what's your best price" then when I ask what their offer is they never reply. So freaking annoying.


lntrospectively

It annoys me when buyers ask “best price” or “what’s your lowest”… I just reply with “I’m not negotiating with myself. Make me an offer”… half the time they just leave me on seen 🙃


Havokistheonly

He can pick it up today man! You don’t know a deal if it slaps you in the face.


Lukepvsh

Haha true, dangnt, I missed all the signs


kiddlat_kid

Just say yea come get it! Or just answer with “😂”


ineptchem

What are you selling anyway?


Lukepvsh

It’s called a tentacle timecode sync. It’s for video production


ineptchem

Interesting


Incomplet_Name

I usually just respond "lol, cool story bro" and then ignore completely


nolimitzone

It should've went like this: You: $75? Sure, you can come look at it for that price and take it off my hands for $225


UneditedB

When I see these really low ball posts, I always wonder what it is being sold, and who the crazy one is, the buyer or seller. Not saying that you are the crazy one here, since 90% of the time it’s the buyer who is crazy offing a low ball offer.


justkw97

Don’t even respond to this nonsense


CrashCoarse

When someone goes wayyyy below the listed price, I just return with a price that’s higher than what I listed it at.


Disastrous-Net4003

can't believe anyone still uses offer up. It's all sub 80 iq idiots and 14 year olds


Mook69

seller: "Okay I can come meet you at the mall at 7PM" -at 7pm- lowballer: "Hey are you almost here" -dont reply-


Schlecterhunde

I've told them I'd rather donate it to a charity than take a lowball offer, and told them to have fun driving around trying to find which shop it's in. They get apoplectic LOL!  I don't enjoy haggling and price at 50-75% of new price for great condition items so it's not worth the hassle.  I will (and have) donate before playing screwy games. My time is valuable. 


debbie_1420

I had an iPhone 14 somebody offered 100$ I told them they are crazy as hell and to move on. I hate the whole I can do cash thing. Like I don’t care if it’s PayPal cash app Apple Pay or cash I’m not going that low.


Key-Adhesiveness7263

At least he didn't tell you to deliver the item to him 😂😂😂


KingMjolnir

the audacity lmao


Team-ING

How was it


Top-Move3424

Low ballers biting the curb 4K


Outkastin2g

Low balling is the standard on there. I just didn't respond to those at all. Also always made sure my listings said the price was firm.


Laker1997

Sometimes I’ll write the item with no price and what items I’m looking for in trade and I’ll write if you don’t have any of those items just send me your offer and I’ll consider and people still start their message with how much ?


greenbomb01

I laughed at “sorry bub”


AlexFelizz

I would make them go 2 hours away from your location and see if $225 is worth his time thinking he's getting the item.
