Man I wonder how many of those lowballers on OLX are double or triple tapping. 
 

A super common negotiating tactic on places like these is to offer you a really crappy amount from 1-2 burner accounts and then make a slightly more reasonable lowball bid. That bid suddenly looks good so people go for it.

Me : posted PS3 250gb for 11k with 2 controllers and 10 games, 2 years back.

LB : 6k

Me : Sure. Where can I get one?

LB : no I'm asking about your posting.

Me : Ah.

LB : you get new one with warranty for 17k

Me : thats damn good bro. You should get it.

LB : last offer 6.5k dude.

Me : so you're not getting the 17k one? Why not?

LB : dude I'm not a gamer at all. Don't want to spend so much. Just want it for TP sometimes.

Me : ok how about this. 8k with no games, no controller and I'll keep the 250gb harddrive.

LB : what's the point then?

Me : same as this conversation.

Scenario 2
 
Me : posted at local store. For sale - 24" Full HD, Haier TV for 6k. Call on (mobile number)
 
LB : How old is the TV.
Me : little lesser than 1 year old
LB : and it's full HD? Actually I wanted to use it as a second TV.
Me : yeah I used it for a couple of months before moving but I have no requirement. It would be good for a second TV. 
LB : I can pay 2.5k
Me : hahaha
LB : what's your last price.
Me : what it said on the poster bro.
LB : I'm sure you can be flexible.
Me : sure I do yoga bro. Once a month. 
LB : can you let it go for 4k
Me : no.
LB : I can go upto 4.6k
Me : look man this TV has been used for a total of a month and a half. The rest of the time it's been in the original box and packing. I got it for 13k and I was looking at reducing clutter. So 6k take it or leave it.
LB : 5k without remote?
Me : ok 3k without panel.
LB : GH**d me daal.
Me : hahaha

On Olx. IVG guys normally don't lowball in my experience.

People on IVG do lowball, but it's usually the new members who join for trading. I've also been offered ridiculous trade offers here . But on the whole it doesn't even hold a candle to what OLX offers :rofl:

Most of the offers on OLX start with - "I want to buy this for 1000rs" or 500rs regardless of how expensive the game is. And it's a given that people will quote you 50% of what you've asked for.

So true about the new members on IVG. A lot of them have joined just for trading forums and do this. I think it should be a healthy balance between both buyer and seller. IVG already has the lowest prices anywhere in India because this is a community based on helping each other. Was the trading forum always open for members as soon as they joined? I mean most forums require a certain post count to be eligible for trading forums.

There used to be a 50 meaningful post rule but it lead to a lot of spamming so it was dropped.

It is fun if you're messing around. It's a real bummer when you're actually trying to get rid of stuff tho.
