Love this! Just got the most ridiculous lowball on an item where the price was marked firm. I can't believe what people feel ok about doing to their fellow poshers!

@sbgsbg Good morning, Sarah. So sorry you have been experiencing this hassle but we're not alone! I'm glad you appreciate this post. It was time I broke it down for the low ball community. 😉😊🌸😘

@holdrelf You need a sassy photo of yourself and you're off! 😂. Oh my gawd that would be the best business card ever!!!

Plus, it would ensure that I only get hired by the most sensibly humored of folk...

@hollyevanmarie. To offer $8.00 for a $36.00 host pick item is unreasonable. I will also tag you on a "reasonable offers" chart to help you with future offers so as to not offend my fellow Poshers. Thanks. Best of luck to you. 🌸

@gabrilleamazing thank YOU! You're so lovely. 😘

@ejvanbev thanks sooooooo much for all shares and likes !! Right back atcha lovey!!💕💕
tcaestudio
@freepeopleluva Jeanie! You have such great stuff too!!! And so reasonable!!! Yay!!😘
barbiemartha
@ejvanbev @momoretro I thought this was just me and feeling frustrated- needing an outlet on this. What in the world? Why is lowballing so crazy right now or is it just me?? If the offer is 50% or less than asking price I don't even counter. Clearly the buyer and I are not on the same page!! :) Thank you for posting this and letting me rant because it does feel like an epidemic lately!
tcaestudio
@barbiemartha Awww I'm sorry this situation is of epic proportions and affecting you too. Good for you not bothering to counter! I'm at the point where I consider listing the people who lowball. Here. There is one posher who offered me $8 for a $38 Anthropologie Rah scarf. (See above) and told me that this tactic works. :(.
barbiemartha
haha! you should. I seriously consider going to their page and finding their most expensive item and offering $3 but I've yet to do that. Apparently it must work some of the time because it keeps happening. Oh well I guess it's all part of the game and I've tried to taper my excitement when I get the notification that I have an offer. It doesn't help that posh puts a "yay!" in the email because sometimes I'm like "not yay. Not yay at all!"
tcaestudio
@barbiemartha "Not yay. Not yay at all" 😘. You made my day. It's either a lowball fest or not releasing funds... You are not the only one who wants to go on their page and offer $3!!! Ive actually done that just to send a message 😊
barbiemartha
{grumble grumble} don't even get me started!!! 😂😂 I may just have to do that one day to feel better and then evil laugh from behind my computer 😘
momoretro
I feel your collective pain Posh sisters....@barbiemartha ....hopefully enough sellers will complain that modifications are needed to the offer button. someone suggested to me that in the last 6+ months there has been a huge influx of new users to the site (especially with Threadflip closing) so there is a sense of a "buyers'" market.
momoretro
sorry I ranted for too many words: The interchange about the scarf above was particularly galling to me because the buyer basically implied the scarf was not even worth the asking price based on similar postings. It's not her place to do that. And anyone who knows Anthro accessories (many are handmade in limited quantities) knows that it is. It's ignorant. The offer button should be customizable.
barbiemartha
Oh @momoretro wouldn't that be great!?!?!? If we had options around the offer button? And then it could say fun things like "oh no! That's too low! Try again" haha!! 😄😄
momoretro
@barbiemartha well even just turn it off for some listings or set a threshold i.e. 20% lowest like -bay has a reserve and a lowball will get a message "reserve not met"

I haven't sold on Poshmark yet but I have so much to sell due to weight loss and my daughter out of 0 and into size 3. I have only seen a few sellers who have their items priced ridiculously high but I can't imagine offering a price as low as I've seen. The items I've purchased for the most part have been fantastic with great sellers! Others who have misrepresented items have lost a buyer!
momoretro
Well I just experienced lowball Monday!!!
momoretro
@majortom69 agree! And some are inflating prices to protect against lowballs...an economist could probably have a field day with this....
tcaestudio
@momoretro Ugh. What is going on here?!?! I hope you post it,
hdao82
@sbgsbg you should see mine. Ugh limited editions for $225 and she offered $75. 😤
sbgsbg
@momoretro it is such a study on economics!! I've now learned that my items will never ever be purchased outright so I usually add $5 on to the item (assuming it's an expensive one) so that I can at least counter offer $5 less and then stick to that. Usually people reject it anyway. Anything under $20 I tend to make price firm. I hate doing it and I hate people trying to negotiate already thoughtful and reasonable prices!! End rant.

I could not agree more! I had one woman insult me because I refused her offer of less than half of the sale price of an item and she was mean! I blocked her but I just don't understand how so many people get nasty because I won't accept their offers that are just ridiculous! Xoxo
matana
I love it. I've just posted in on my closet but think you'd may be better.
jenschonert
May I join in on this? This Summer's been so slow and I've seen so many prices drop. Being fairly new to posh, I began dropped prices as well. My items are ridiculously cheap and I'm stuck in the negative. And I keep getting low-ball offers on absurdly discounted items. $40 on a $100 bag I'd just reduced! I'm always so careful when making offers – if I want it bad enough, I save up & pay full price. I should just raise my prices back up! Okay, rant over 😊 You're my hero for posting this! 💕
tcaestudio
@jenschonert Please be our guest and welcome to Posh!!! There are so many wonderful people on here that make up for the negatives. I've taken to listing the low ball offer people on here as a way to curb my frustration. Please feel free to do the same. I'll be back to share your closet my friend! ❤️🌸😘
mscrys84
I'm so happy I found this thread! How about when someone low balls you on an item that's already 70% off, but then you go to her closet and see that she has a collection (20+ pieces) of TIFFANY jewelry and is still buying more to add to it. If you can afford Tiffany jewelry and just bought another from a fellow posher (I read a love note she left), then please don't offer me $5 on a $12 dress.
mscrys84
Especially when you told me how awesome my prices are because I'm asking $15 for another item other sellers want $50 for! The nerve of people.
tcaestudio
@mscrys84 Heya Crystal! Thanks for your input. I'm sorry your also experiencing this. I also had someone buy a pair of shoes from me after wearing me down about the price (now I flat out reject the crap offers), used my photos from Posh and sold the shoes on eBay for twice what she paid here. There are some real pros out there!!! Everyone wants a bargain and a buck but cmon! Be fair to your fellow Poshers. ❤️😘🌸⭐️
mscrys84
@ejvanbev WOW!! I wish we could get people kicked off of Posh for doing things like that. No respect whatsoever for others trying to make an honest buck.

Hope you are all well best, Megan

@tchouseofstyle heya T. Been thinking of you. The last three brain surgeries have taken their toll but he's moving forward. I'll catch you from the waiting room at the hospital as I'll have more time. Thank you for all your loving kindness. Ps I just got him a tshirts for his birthday from my friend @kugelschreiber. She's also in need of our goodness. Thank you again ❤️😘🌸⭐️
noricoleman
Thank you so much for this. This happened to me on bundle and I thought it was one item but it was two and I accidentally hit accept offer. It was so low ball on brand new items with tags. I cancelled it within seconds but now my items are marked sold even though it was cancelled. Any advice. I'm still a bit miffed.
noricoleman
@sbgsbg definitely not posh etiquette. I feel ya!
tcaestudio
@noricoleman. Been there too. I think the best we can do is just screen shot the listing and crop. I'm sorry you had difficulty. Your closet is so beautiful!
noricoleman
@ejvanbev thanks for the support! I like your closet as well!! Great taste! I think we love what we do and confidence in that and our hard work along with faith overcomes ridiculousness! Lol! Keep on !

@shodges3835. We got you! XO
jerik
I appreciate this too! I cannot tell you how tired I am of this. I even offer bundle deals of 20% after 4 or more items and people still want you to take more off of the price and then if you don’t they’ll get mad and not buy 😜😱🤪
garveyar
@ejvanbev HI! I totally feel this! I have purchased froM your beautiful closet before! I have been getting so many ridiculous offers! Would it be ok to use your post? It’s so perfect? If not totally understand. 😘😘😘
