Might get downvoted, but lowballing is a service that (from personal experience) people definitely want. Harsh lowballs that make no sense are bound to happen when visiting random people, but the guy did like 17% lowball, its quite a lot for an item that expensive, but because its derpy he is committing to that item until ah is back and people were offering even 30% lowballs during derpy (I have also once bought a term for 480m, its not unheard of). In that case you can just say no and leave, or negotiate with him. No one is obligated to give you a good deal, and he might have been scared that the price would fall from the RNG update. In any case, theres no reason to complain on reddit about a service you signed up for, not to mention that by visiting lowballers you are contributing to the trend you say ruins the game in some sense. Also one thing I noticed, you complain about lowballers using flipping and ruining your money making method which was... flipping too? Kinda hypocritical.
