Audiogon Anti-Lowball Offer setting


Hey everyone,

I don’t know if you all saw this but I got an e-mail from A’gon stating they have a new feature in place to hinder insane lowball offers.

After you log in go to your Account and select Edit Account. Then scroll down in the Policies section there is a check box to automatically reject lowball offers.


Policies

Lowball offers

Automatically reject offers below 55% of your asking price,

I wish this could be user specific. I would have set this to 45% off of listing price for my tastes but it is a start for Audiogon.

Thanks

Thank you for sharing. I applaud Audiogon for adding this feature.  But they should allow user defined threshold for our listings, just like eBay. Many of us expressed concerns over the ridiculous low ball offers. I do sell quite a bit here and man, wish you could share the flock of low ball offers comes through towards the end of your listing duration.  

I simply laugh and ignore the offers.  
When does an offer below the asking price become a "lowball" offer? I really don't know but, knowing that the asking price is an arbitrary figure, I typically will offer up to 20% below it. Let's face it, once you decide to sell any piece of equipment you just want it gone. I'll admit that 45%-55% below the asking price is ridiculous, but so are some of the asking prices I see here and on other sites. To sum up, the only thing better than buying equipment that you always wanted, is buying it at a price you wanted to pay. Feature or no feature, it certainly doesn't take much to ignore any offer. Just my opinion!
Jedinite24,
Thanks for passing that along.
Somehow I missed it!
Best regards...
