Robi don't mind getting lowball offers via email. I'll just reply with the usual "thanks for your offer, but i'll pass" or something to that effect.
You never know, they might come back in the future with a reasonable offer, or I may realize I grossly over-priced my item and may want to deal with that person again.
The good thing about email as opposed to a salesman knocking on my door is that I can reply to the email at my convenience. Or I can just delete it without responding at all if I get that upset.
I'm sure I've made lowball offers before ... its what I'm willing to pay for an item, and who knows the seller may bite. Nothing to lose by offering, and certainly nothing to get upset at on the sellers end IMO.
