I have found that a lot of people like to low balln online just for kicks. Not because they are wanting to be disrespectful. It's more because they aren't thinking. People do A lot of stupid things when they feel they don't have to actually face the people they are doing it to. Well they actually do a lot of stupid things regardless but they feel it's okay to be more stupid when they dont have to actually face you.

I try to see a low ball offer as more of an opportunity than a problem. It's a hassle to deal with a ihaggler but the trick is in taking the haggle away from them or getting them to flat out decline and go away. I found by contacting the buyer and saying something like "I'm not into the whole haggling just to haggle thing and I know you are probably interested for a fair price and just doing because it's the thing to do." usually works. I let them know how common (and bogus) the practice of low ball offers is and how hard it makes the sell of items online. Then explain to them that I know they want a good deal and that I'm interested in giving them a good deal. that is of they can actually even want the item and can afford the deal I'm offering. I'm happy to do what I can to help them make a better deal out of the purchase but if they are lookin for the mega score they can brag to friend about then I'm sure they find it in time. This type of email is usually worth it for the $20-$100+ dollars they wanted to beat me out of. It may come down to shipping or the may say they are looking to spend "x-amount". I can take it or decline but at least I'm not sitting around thinking $20 is all I get for a SS4 or something.

Most guys contacting you to haggle reallly just want something to brag about I think.

"I just bought 800lbs of confetti for $10 shipped! Now I sit around throwing it over my head everytime I get to bring the value down on quality products and quality service!!!"
