On the rare occasion that I make an offer for something it will be very low because that is what I’m willing to pay to deal with the whole ‘male an offer’ process. A low bid is a low bid, not an insult.

Then it would seem you are not like the person I’m taking issue with.

  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.

    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.

It’s an insult you are too ignorant to understand is an insult. You wasted their time with your bs

  If people don’t want to be ‘insulted’ by low offer then they shouldn’t present it in a format that allows for offers that are ‘too low’. It would take less time to reject the bid they allowed to happen than to write a response.
  
  I have personally purchased at least one thing for 10% of the asking price (around $500) because I was the only one who wanted it and they wanted to get rid of it. That was what it was worth to me, I wasn’t trying to haggle or anything, just made an offhand offer when walking by.
