"What's Your Best Price?"

Maybe it's just coincidence, but I have experienced an increasing number of buyers lately whose only question is "what's your best price?" in response to an "OBO" listing. Should such moronic inquiries simply be ignored -- or is there an appropriate/productive response?

If they ask for your best price, ask for their best offer.
I've done that. One of two things has happened. Either the person has never responded, or they have responded with indignation that I'd ask such a question.

Never has it resulted in a sale.

The question, "What's you best price?" is always asked by people who have no real intention of buying, IMO.

Agreed and that was the point of my post although it was made in the abstract.

Then I'm the exception. I only ask if I intend to buy.

I just joined AgoN but have 47 transactions at Head-Fi. All perfect. I'd come up with a different retort if I were you.
