lowballing is something I hate people up in arms about. Most of the 'lowballing' I've seen is from basic negotiating tactics.

If you ask somebody what they want to pay they're SUPPOSED to lowball (within reason*) because they expect you to come back with a highball for a counter-offer and generally you'll work something out in the middle of that.

*within reason is generally about +/- 30% of the item's total value.

Lowballing would be fine if people would actually try to work something out. 99% of the time I get a lowball and reply with "too low mate" and they just never reply again.

What I hate is when people just hide your offer or say "pass" or "nty" without commenting on it.

I think pass or nty is a pretty strong comment on your offer. It means try harder.
