WTF is wrong with some people here??

[VacMan]

20% off a low-cost item is not lowballing, especially when you already offered them at $80 picked up. You overreacted, then made it public.

You're in for a long road buying and selling if you're going to put a price out there without stating that it is FIRM and then getting butthurt when anyone "lowballs" you with what the rest of the world would consider a decent first negotiating volley.

Three pieces of advice for you.

1. Never sell anything on Craigslist. Your world will come undone.
2. If you ever buy a car at a dealership, take someone with you who understands the way negotiation works.
3. Read this book:

Uh what? What is simple math, low balling? You two are both in the wrong. Thread should be killed.

The only one who's in the wrong here is the one who publicly posted private messages and flew off the handle because of a politely made offer.

Im having a hard time understanding how people are seeing that as such a lowball offer? I think $60 or less may have been a lowball offer to be offended by. Anyways, you need to stay out of this thread. Thanks.

Jon

if you're STILL having a hard time understanding, then you just dont get it..

and never will.

i edited the original post, and deleted the screenshot of the back and forth, because as a few guys pointed out, it WAS out of line, and uncalled for. there wasnt a need for it.

i was already fired up over some jackass wasting an entire day of mine, with a car i'm selling, and i overreacted...

was your offer lame? yes.
why? because i was already selling the springs at a huge loss, and it already was a killer deal, without you needing to try to squeeze a little more out of me.

was it lame of me to snap at you right away? yes. i shouldnt have... it was stupid.
does the lowballing annoy the shit out of me? goddamned right it does.

my apologies to the board for the clusterfuck this has become. and apologies to the original lowballer.

yes i still have them.. no i wont sell for 80 shipped.
im already offering them at a steal, so why the hell would you try to lowball me? i swear, some people on this mssg board are so goddamned cheap.


So there it is, the original messaging between the seller and myself copied and pasted directly from my private messaging inbox. My words in bold and his are italicized. I did send him a picture of a bunny with a pancake on its head to end the dispute. So much for PRIVATE messaging.

I wish I had seen this earlier. Wether you think my offer was insultingly low or not, I think we can all see where the seller went out of line. There was no need to act like a jackass towards me after the original PM. I wont rationanlize my reason for asking you if you would take $80 shipped, its simple math, you'll figure it out someday. Anyways, work on maturing and being able to appropriately interact with people that may or may not first impress you, there are a lot of both in the world. Good luck with it.
