Not to the people who buy them, would have been my immediate response. 

 

I suspect the other lowball offer was - in their mind - an attempt to "prove" that your prices are too high, because obviously if more than one person (lol) thinks so, it must be true. 

 

When I had best offer on listings and a low one came through, I'd just decline it and say unfortunately, I'm not able to meet that price. I wouldn't counter offer because I can't take ridiculous offers (and the people who make them) seriously, regardless of the intention behind them.

 

I no longer use best offer, so now when people ask about discounts, unless they're talking about bulk purchases, I just say that I'm not running any specials at the moment, but they're welcome to subscribe to my store so that they can be advised of any promotions I run in the future.
