Almost would have been interesting to low ball him on other things to see what else he was willing to smash on the "Gallagher" show.
I agree. It seems very silly to get that agitated over a low ball offer. The smarter thing to have done would have been to just say "No" and then tend to another customer. I hope that seller was inundated with many more low ball offers!
"Strong message to buyer." The strong message I would have received would have been to avoid that seller no matter what else (s)he was selling. Childish displays should not get rewarded in any way.
