Your Lowball Offers Are Welcome

Really, they don't bother me. I know some sellers are insulted when they receive a lowball offer. Especially if it is unaccompanied by some sort of explanation or sugar coating along the lines of, "I just love your closet, but it's out of my price range. I hope you don't mind my low offer. I thought it couldn't hurt to try."

Some buyers use it as a strategy, hoping to meet in the middle. And some throw it out there hoping the seller will counter with her lowest price. Wouldn't you, as a seller, much rather have the make-an-offer process the mechanism through which you disclose your lowest acceptable price? We all know we aren't going to out that gem in the comments for all to see and take advantage of!

Someone sends me a "lowball offer." Someone asks if I trade. Am I offended? No way! I am grateful that person is interested in my item thankyouverymuch! You can't blame someone for trying. We all love a great deal. And you never know how motivated a seller is. 



What if your price is firm? "Thanks so much for your offer, but my price is firm." Or a way to possibly make a bigger sale, "Thanks so much for your offer, but my price is firm unless bundled."

What if it is so low, it isn't even worth countering? "Thanks so much for your offer, but my price is firm for now. Keep it in your likes to be notified when I decide to reduce the price."

Bottom line, don't ignore or offend a potential buyer. And remember your comments are there for all to see. So keep it positive!
