I once had some dude offer me $2K under blue book for a car and then taunt me when I told him it wasn’t a serious offer. “yeah right like you’re ever going to get that for it” he said. Got that price within a week and since I’m petty sometimes, I let him know
On the rare occasion that I make an offer for something it will be very low because that is what I’m willing to pay to deal with the whole ‘male an offer’ process. A low bid is a low bid, not an insult.
If people don’t want to be ‘insulted’ by low offer then they shouldn’t present it in a format that allows for offers that are ‘too low’. It would take less time to reject the bid they allowed to happen than to write a response.
I have personally purchased at least one thing for 10% of the asking price (around $500) because I was the only one who wanted it and they wanted to get rid of it. That was what it was worth to me, I wasn’t trying to haggle or anything, just made an offhand offer when walking by.

Then it would seem you are not like the person I’m taking issue with.
It’s an insult you are too ignorant to understand is an insult. You wasted their time with your bs

None of this makes you any less of an asshole
