Yes, that's equally annoying. I don't know why people bother using a price at all if they're not going to sell for what their asking price is listed at -- the one exception I can understand is if they listed the domain there months/years ago and the values have changed since then.

Lowlife cheapskates know that it only takes 1 or 2 outta a couple hundred lowballs to say yes, and they get what they were going for. And as we've all seen the transgression, it's going to get worse and worse, as more and more scumbags, and cheap newbies come into the game. No different then that next wave of 'I'll buy your LLL.com off you for a couple thousand dollars', emails that keep a coming. One can only delete and smile at them, or answer with a 'sure cheapster, as soon as you die' reply.

Thanks hawkeye, that made my day

Definitely agree with you that this poll will do nothing -- was just curious how many others are fed up with it like me. I had an email offer a few days ago for $1000 on BQB -- tried to maintain professionalism and not tell the guy to go @#$% himself which is exactly what I felt like saying

Of the last 3 LLL.coms I've put on Sedo, they've all been spammed with major lowballs (on the order of $500-$2000) within a week -- clearly someone is trying to prey on domainers who aren't aware of the value of what they own.
