What Does "Reasonable Offer" mean?



My mom used to sell trinkets at a flea market. When the people made half price offers, she RAISED the asking prices.
How much for the dinner plates?
Those are $15.
Okay, I'll give you $8.
Sorry, they are $18.
What? I thought that you said $15 ?
Okay, make it $20.
She was good at detecting cheap people so she decided to mess with them since a sale to them was a losing effort anyway.
Yeah there is nothing worse than people negotiating a low price when its already a good deal. If its an item that's hard to sell or is difficult to value then fine. She was right to weed these people out quickly. My usual approach is to not respond. Sometimes I list an item as firm and I still get offers :)
