I listed something

I've had messages from 3 people, 2 of which asked "what's your bottom dollar".

Like, wtf. I want what I listed it for. If you think that's too much, make an offer. Don't ask "what's your bottom dollar".

I was trying to sell some xbox games on Facebook and I would constantly get messages like "I'll take everything for $20". Like, this is over 40 games. No you won't. People are fucking weird.

ebay has an automated system I assume where you can make offers but if your offer is lower than their secret minimum then you get rejected. At least once I was blocked by this system from buying an item because you only get 5 offers I think

Usually I lowball then try to get them to respond with a more reasonable price

this is just in video games, but no one ever offers a price. if i'm selling they all just say how much? if i'm buying they all just ask me to name a price. i don't know how any deal ever gets made without me

It sounds like people are trying to haggle and you dont want to take part.

Ignoring my list price to ask what the least I'd take is not haggling.

Haggling would be, "I dunno man, your price seems a little high, would you take $__?"

"So, uh, what's the, uh, lowest possible amount you would take for this? Because, uh....that's our offer."

Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read.
