Rest in Peace
I find it really offensive when I am selling something and someone offers me substantially less than I am asking..you have to go by the body language that goes along with it..I just say " Forget about it " and I walk away when that happens....It is insulting...I especially dislike the ones that offer you less over the phone before they come and even see what you are selling.
If you get insulted and walk away, you may have just missed a sale. When I sold my last tractor, a guy came to look and then told me a dealer had offered to sell him a new one for less than I was asking for the used one. Instead of ending the conversation, I just asked, "Where is this dealer. I'll take 2 of them at that price." I think he realized how silly his comment had been, and he bought my tractor.:laughing: If they offer less over the phone before coming, maybe they have a limit on what they'll spend, so it saves you and them time if they don't come look first.
