I actually had somebody on the forum who recently "didn't appreciate" my VERY fair offer on some photos (didn't say no offers, firm etc). That member only uses the forum to sell and I have never seen them comment anything on any discussion post but it's just a prime example of why you should make offers. Don't be scared of people saying that to you, if they do it's probably not somebody you should deal with at all.
And that is the same for sellers, how are people getting offended over offers in nearly 2025? Offer me $50 on something I have listed for $500 all I'll say is no. I won't throw a fit and say you are human scum or something stupid. Lets use our heads.

Some sellers are just jerks when you make an offer, though. I've made offers of 60-75% of BINs on ebay...some accept, some counter, some politely decline...but I've had everything else too, including plenty of angry, insulting responses. One guy even banned me from his listings in response. It's not pleasant to have those kinds of interactions so it makes sense that some steer clear of "no asking price" listings if they don't know the seller.
