I once had some dude offer me $2K under blue book for a car and then taunt me when I told him it wasn't a serious offer. "yeah right like you're ever going to get that for it" he said. Got that price within a week and since I'm petty sometimes, I let him know

On the rare occasion that I make an offer for something it will be very low because that is what I'm willing to pay to deal with the whole 'male an offer' process. A low bid is a low bid, not an insult.

It's an insult you are too ignorant to understand is an insult. You wasted their time with your bs

that's when you send the new offer of a whopping $21.37 and add "I'll even throw in half a jimmy johns sammich if you accept in the next 30 minutes"

Then five minutes later, "The sandwich is no longer on the table. You may smell the wrapper."

Weird. That works all the time on Pawn Stars

Ironically, the bid was for a gun which the buyer wanted to shoot himself with.

When we were looking for a house, we put an offer in on one and the seller replied that they thought the offer was "insulting". We thought that was rude but it was nothing compared to this.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (3 children)

We bid 10k under asking price because the owner ripped the place up and it needed tons of work. They said they would not accept any offers under asking. We thought about it and decided the house was in the perfect location and made the offer at asking price. They also were not happy about that because this was in 2021 and everything was selling for a ton over asking price. Thing is, those houses you could move into with minimal changes. This house needed abatement and a gutted bathroom and kitchen. We were the only offer and they begrudgingly accepted and tried every which way to nickel and dime us before closing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I'm so glad we got our offer accepted before the market went bananas. The sellers were a retired couple offloading their rental properties and when accepting the offer asked to delay the actual sale for a few months so that it would occur in the next calendar year. In that time frame interest rates continued to fall and the housing market rapidly heated up so we got our house at a lower rate and lower price than we should have. It also doubled in value over the following 3 years thanks to the hyperinflation and overheated housing market of 2021-22

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Some sellers are delusional and think their house is special and that it will sell for more than they list, even expect it.

There have been times where I made an offer and the seller countered and based on their contingencies, I got the vibe that they were going to be an asshole through closing.

One seller even threatened to sue even though I was fully within my rights to walk away. My response to my agent was "tell them to serve me papers."

Never heard from them again.

Jesus wept. "Let me sue someone for not treating this ruinous housing bubble like I'm royalty for deigning to receive offers of fabulous wealth".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

People have overbid 10-20% or even more here in NL in the last few months for all kind of houses and apartments. Including once that need a ton of work.

In the offerers defense that is probably a price at or above current retail for a product with massive deprecation and in moderate to good condition.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (6 children)

probably

Based on... ? My experience indicates more of an issue with people basically wanting free stuff. I had a woman once haggle me over a refurbished in-box phone that sold new for $600 at the time. $100 (which she already had agreed to) was worth haggling over. Like do you want it for free?

Alright, 25€$, but that's my last offer.
