The issue of lowballing... What does that mean?

thanks ml8764ag!
I will admit that it was my most "controversial" post as pertains to those section of people i referred to.

But i sure as hell am not taking it back.look Ziff, it isn't about prejudice, its about , in my case. over two dozen"audiophiles!" who pretend to have not seen that fact on my for sale items, shoot me incredibly LOW lowballs when the states NO LOWBALL OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED,Argue with you why you won't use Paypal etc, because it will help THEM, change they're mind on a deal they made  after your ad has been taken down, etc, etc, etc,,,
Where i cam from is the school of manners...and at that same school we were never taught to "cower" because somebody might not like it!
Nobody gives a rip wether you deem yourself above the crowd on contributing your opinion....

Azjake......I do not deem myself anything. And i didn't ask you to retract your words. You have to live with your choices, not me. We differ..... I simply respect people regardless of their culture. I do not think it is acceptable to judge people based on their race , religion or culture.  What you and ml8764ag said is profiling and inflammatory and has no business being on this forum. You don't like lowballers. Fine. No problem. I don't either. Leave it there. As far as me being too sensitive to be on this forum, I'm not the one overreacting to lowballers. One click and it's deleted. Grow a pair? Gosh, 4 children a 2 grandchildren....don't think that's a problem. Stand up for what I believe in? Nope, can't be that either. 

Even If all lowballers  encountered are of a particular race that does not mean all or even most of that race.are also lowballers.   It serves no purpose and adds no value other than to promote racism i.e. Judging people based solely on race.  So there is no justification for suggesting it be tolerated.   Sorry.  

So I've re-noticed something recently which is probably old hat to most here, but...

Price is relative, right? Like, I may look at a good Easton or Worth baseball bat priced at $399 and think, "Umm, that's way too expensive." Or I may think about getting a dedicated gaming laptop, but balk at the $899 price tag. Or worry if I'm paying too much for a new Shop-Vac when I could get a better deal at Ye Olde Big Box store.

But I'll cheerfully Watch and even Make Offer on a $2000 piece of ho-end equipment after researching and/or hearing it. That much would pay for the Easton, the gaming laptop, and the Shop-Vac - with some change to spare, and yet that perspective is skewed when it comes to stuff on Audiogon - whether I'm buying or selling.

I'm toying with getting an Oppo 105 and since most of them are in the $850 range, I'd honestly feel guilty if I bid anything under $700. Like, I;d feel obligated to send a note of explanation with the bid. Same with things I'm selling, especially if I've done the Bluebook research.

I'm glad Agon has that 55% Lowball cut-off, though I think that's much too low. If someone offered me 55% of my asking price, their bid would be ignored without a doubt.
