seller mentality

[kev374]

why is it considered a grotesque insult and unethical behavior to low ball a seller but it’s considered okay for a seller to list their house for a ridiculous price?

Why not the market determine the price? If a seller makes an offer considerably lower than your list price and you think the market could offer more then just say no and move on? Why are people so personally insulted by this? Especially when many of them have just obtained free appreciation without putting in any effort for that gain?

Why do some people think they are attractive and others think they are ugly ?

If you say they are ugly, (even though it’s true) they would feel insulted because they have judged themselves to be attractive.

Why do some people think they are fat and others see them as thin ?

If you tell them they are too thin, they might feel insulted, because they really think they are fat.

Why do some people think they are clever and others think they are idiots ?

If you call them an idiot, even though it’s true, they would feel insulted.

People have varying judgments of what should be objective reality on many different levels, besides home pricing. It’s simply human nature.

It's the basest of survival instincts. If you didn't think that "your crap smells good", you would have no incentive to reproduce and pass on your "qualities" to your progeny.

Why do some people think they are fat and others see them as thin ? If you tell them they are too thin, they might feel insulted, because they really think they are fat.

That would (almost) never happen in today's world.  At least not in America. You can never be too thin or too rich!

Any offers I’ve made have been lowball and I don’t really care if I offend them. Of course, no purchase yet for me and I haven’t bothered to make any offers in a while. Maybe my lowball helped the next guy buy who offered less but more than mine. Personally, I am very offended by many prices people have set on their properties. The ridiculous prices deserve lowballs just to slap them in the face w/a reality check. I think eveyone should do it.

I agree with jpinpb and IMO it is in no way insulting or grotesque to lowball. In fact, I think it’s a buyers job to lowball, just as it is a seller’s job to highball.
