  I tried to edit to clarify immediately after but there might be some timer before editing.

  Your guy was much of a dick about you not taking the offer as the OP seller was about getting a low budget. People who treat ‘make me an offer’ as some kind of preset range and get mad that others don’t agree make the whole offer process painful.

    There’s no “preset range”, but I would agree that if something is worth anywhere near $300, an offer of $20 is akin to saying “come on stranger, I want this for free”

      Odds are just as high that the example $360 is an insultingly inflated price just like the $20 is likely to be far lower than what someone else is willing to spend on whatever is being sold.

        I gave up on marketplaces years ago after looking for a reasonably priced PS3. The number of people who thought their original model with 7 Madden games was worth $500 was absurd.

        Maybe I just tune out the high prices, but I don’t notice as much of that

      In my experience people will often offer $20 for anything worth up to $1000 and as little as $50, any less and they want it delivered for free.

        That is some brazen shit.
