[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 1958439, member: 18914"] I respond to every offer - if I miss a response it isn't because they "lowballed" me. In my opinion this is not a buyer issue, it is a seller issue. If a seller posts "firm" or "non-negotiable" then he/she should feel free to ignore offers below the asking price. Generally, however, the seller posts what he would "like" to get and has some lower, unspoken amount he will accept if required. If an offer comes in too low to be acceptable simply respond in a way that brings them up to what you will accept or say "No thank you - too low". If they are interested you'll hear back soon enough. I do dislike when I spend time negotiating a price only to get a final "can't pay that after all" at the end. I realize a hard deal was not agreed to - so I am not saying anyone welched - but why waste both our time if you aren't sure you can pay at the outset? [/QUOTE]
