I think it would depend on the person. If it was someone I knew from here I'd probably say no thanks, I was certain I would get more from another buyer. If he then invited a counteroffer I would respond that, based on his offer, we were probably too far apart to even attempt to negotiate and thank him again for his interest. That might convey where I thought the offer was.

If it was someone I didn't know I would consider completely ignoring it, as insulting offers from people I don't know aren't worth my time.

I really would rather foster good relations here, even if the offer is insulting, and maybe give someone the benefit of the doubt for not knowing. But I'd be dying to give it all the attention it deserved by completely ignoring it, or sending a sarcastic response. On the right day, I might do exactly that.
