Craigslist: the good, the bad, & the DERP!

"I will consider other offers but I will not respond to any low-ball offers, I will not piece out the collection or only sell the rare and desirable games, and I will not haggle."
Um...
I've got a few things listed and nearly every reply is the same. "What's the lowest you'll go on it?" That's not how price negotiation works. I list at $X, you offer a specific amount, then we go from there.

Lol, I think we can blame that on Pawn Stars...He will always ask what the lowest is from the seller...then offer even less then that. I guess people think that it's how it works in real life :/

Pawn Stars, great show. I guess I'm one of those people that works like that. Half my collection is from craigslist lowballing. Seriously, what's wrong with asking? If I post an item on craigslist I pretty much expect lowball offers.

I was thinking more like (40% off lowest offer said they would take), im going to have to pay to clean it up and frame it. And its going to take up space on the shelves.

The problem is that there was NO offer.
