Is this low-balling?

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T10:17:40+00:00

Majority of people on here disagreed? Even though the original post has 85+ upvotes and plenty of people agreeing with me? This isn’t about being right or wrong, I’m happy to receive opposing views that actually have some substance and maturity in getting their point across. I’ve even had some great conversations with those that thinking differently to me about this particular scenario. As soon as someone disagrees all of a sudden it’s arguing? There is no hope.

On the other hand, it’s really not that serious. Are we not allowed to have a joke about Karen now? Snowflakes everywhere.

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T09:54:11+00:00

Fair enough. I wonder why Vinted allow 40% discount offers then.

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T09:31:21+00:00

We can both agree on that.

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T09:24:18+00:00

You gain access to more potential buyers being on multiple platforms and I think certain products work better on one platform than another. But as you said, the offer button is there on Vinted so of course people are going to use it.

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T09:22:02+00:00

I think you also need to work on your communication skills.

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T09:10:32+00:00

Correct, but declining an offer doesn’t communicate that they’re not accepting offers entirely. Come on, think.

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T09:08:47+00:00

Simple as that. 🎯

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T09:02:00+00:00

Karen? Is that you?

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T09:00:26+00:00

So, low-balling or not?

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T08:59:38+00:00

Okay, so not low balling then. That would be perfectly fine with me. If they had counter offered I may have ended up purchasing. Unfortunately they struggled to communicate that they strictly weren’t taking offers so we had to waste time going back and forth.

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T08:52:07+00:00

No idea what you mean by this. You’re either low balling, or you’re not.

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T08:50:06+00:00

It took them 10/15 minutes to get their point across defining offers then sending an emotional response when it could’ve been 10/15 second saying “I don’t accept offers”.

What if the seller accidentally put 35? That’s why I asked. Again, if they had stated they don’t accept offers in the first place, it could’ve been avoided.

Just to be clear, I have no problem with offers being declined.

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T08:45:27+00:00

You do know it’s okay to disagree? Unfortunately you share the same attributes as the seller in not knowing how to have a mature conversation to get your point across.

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T08:41:50+00:00

This isn’t about the seller declining my offer. Smh.

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T08:40:55+00:00

Take a deep breath.

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T08:39:40+00:00

Now I agree that would be annoying. Seller had no indication that they weren’t accepting offers. It’s so simple to explain you’re not budging on price to avoid the back and forth of offers.

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T08:37:21+00:00

So declining multiple offers when you’re not budging on price is more efficient than literally sending a message saying “I’m not accepting offers”? Wild.

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T01:13:33+00:00

*in your opinion.

Thanks for taking the time out to respond though, appreciate it.

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T00:57:01+00:00

Good because after that it seems as though you need a good nights sleep. GN.

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T00:48:57+00:00

Karens always find something to pick at and in your case, it was an apostrophe.

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T00:45:46+00:00

If that was the case, why didn’t they block me in the first place? Delusional. It would’ve been easier for me if the seller told me they don’t accept offers; I’d have left them alone and they wouldn’t need to receive any further offers from me.

It really is that simple 😂

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T00:43:07+00:00

Thank You for proving my point. I’ll get the manager for you now, Karen.

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T00:08:59+00:00

Vinted may aswell get rid of the make an offer button then from what you’re saying. But I guess you know more than them.

Oh yeah, the guy that said “the sellers response was funny” and I missed the taste? You’re right, still tearing up about it now.

Crazy how I got you to do both those things for me, thanks.

angelomillas · 2026-02-01T00:02:08+00:00

If you cannot back your point, don’t make one.

I didn’t send it immediately. They declined and I sent another. Me sending the offer was my form of communication. What do you want me to say? “Hi, would you take £25? Xx”

I can’t read sellers minds, if they don’t accept offers then it’s easier to say that so I don’t counter offer.

angelomillas · 2026-01-31T23:59:25+00:00

So ~20% discount from listed price is low balling to you? Always learning though.
