What does deem a lowball offer? I would think most people would do a web search and see what it sold for in auction. Then make an offer based from that price.

I have made offers before that were 10% less than what the last card of the same grade sold for a month or 2 earlier and was told by other sellers it was a low ball offer to them. So you just never know what the seller will deem a low ball offer when no price is listed. If they wanted what the last card sold for at Heritage for example they could probably just list that price...
There are some sellers who buy a card a few months ago and then want 10k more for it for example, so any offer that is above and beyond what the seller had just paid for that card could also be considered a low ball offer to that seller. Thus if the seller lists the card for 10k more then the past sale in that example they may not be bothered with what they deem as 'lowball' offer though others could disagree, but in the end it does save time
