I am a cool person, not easily getting angry. But yesterday I got angry when a person from NamePros responded to my Make Offer sale thread wherein 66 four letter dot com names are on sale, one gentleman responded with his generous offer:
izuq.com
duaj.com

saeq.com
30$ each
All the above 3 names are published at brandable marketplaces.

This person, who later claims that he know the current price of 4L names too.

What response would you give if you encounter such low ball offers?

PLEASE SHARE YOU EXPERIENCE.

Waste of your time. You won't gain anything from any further conversation(s).
You can have fun with replying, but again, that won't get you anywhere. It would still end up as a "time wasting" exercise.
While responding to his offer, I even asked him which planet is he from. He clarified me he is from Earth only.

Well in domaining in general, I dont think you can call out someone as a low baller. You price a domain at X price and a buyer is well within his rights to place his offer. Its finally up to you as a seller whether you accept the offer or not. If you do not want offers below a price, you can very well make a note in the sale thread - no offers below X$. So buyer is aware of it. There are no fixed prices that if your domain is say 4 letters it will definitely get you a fixed amount. If it was a stock market and you had a stock, yes, you could say the listed price is this and I want X for the stock. But in domaining nothing like that. Like I may feel that the domain I have is worth 1000 or even 10000 but till it does not sell and there is no offer value = 0. When I get an offer for the domain I simply study the offer and say that my expectation for the domain is around Y and if we can meet somewhere a deal may even happen. Say the buyer says $30 / domain you can always counter and say you want say $100 or whatever price you want or that domain, and may be the buyer can meet you at a higher price. This is also a forum / marketplace where most of us are just resellers/investors hoping to get a price. Say I may think that a 4L .com will get me $100 or $150 one day so I would be ready to take a risk at say $60 - $80 etc depending the amount of risk I am willing to take. Its a simple case of demand/supply and an assumption of what I may get for a domain. Say if tomorrow the market for 4L tanks and if rates go to $50 a domain? Personally I have not invested in a single 4L domain as I dont understand the market of random 4 letters unless the 4 letter mean something!

Happened to me a moment ago, someone offered me $20 for one of my domain Google Page Rank 4, first I though I shouldn't respond, then responded, with a big NO!

The message as it was sent to me:

Hello there, can we make a deal of $20 please?

LOL!

2 scenarios only:

Respond with your desired amount
Don't respond at all (I do this more)

If you feel the need to insult someone, check yourself.
