I'm one of them.
Something I realized I hate today, when you lowball someone on something and they accept your offer right off the bat. Makes me think I should've lowballed more.
Anybody have any lowballer tips?

Do Some Research on the Item you Want buy.
How much is going for on ebay or online.
Is it scratched.
Like New.
Has Everything. (cables,manuals etc)
why is he selling it ?
Is it popular?

Have a set price you are willing to pay before hand.
Show em the money, flash it. It might trigger the impulses of the Seller.

Consider all this. Then GO an lowball !!!!

[Cool]

Good call, that's the next step haha


IMO, the seller doesnt have to accept what the lowball offer is. That's how I justify lowballing and dont feel bad. If anything just say no and move on about the day.

I dont mind lowballers but dont waste someones time acting like youre interest, meeting up and all that crap then slap a lowball offer on them. Someone did that to me once and i wanted to slap the shit out of them. Complete waste of time

Here's what happens when you lowball me: I don't reply. Simple as that, I mark your address as spam and its gone. Now if you decide my asking price is actually fair all your email's go into my junk folder. I just had a guy email me like 5 times for a phone I was selling. He then told me he was on his way to meet me and had $50 less than my asking price in cash, like he was setting the price. He has sent me like 30 emails since then and suddenly has the full amount but I'm not selling it to him now. He should have been decent when he saw my phone was already $50 less than any of the others like it on Craigslist.

You know I have no problem with it most of the time, I know folks are broke, hell I am super broke right now myself, but man some lowballers are off the hook like if I am selling something for $100 bucks don't call me at 11pm and say how bout $25?
