You wouldn't go to a retail store and offer them a third of their advertised price and expect a positive outcome, so why on Ebay?
There is no one size fits all on eBay.
Its a marketplace afterall that offers much more diversity than any B&M store or shopping centre.
I have had some very low offers that I would not have normally considered, but have accepted at times to boost cash flow or clear older stock in a breakeven postiion.
I have knocked back many low offers, and the buyer has subsequently purchased the item at full price.
I have also had some chuckles from some of the offers made and accompanying comments 
TBH I actually appreciate the ability to have make an offer on listings as well as the informal message bartering and I reckon have increased my sales through offers of various sorts by at least 10% on this ID over time.
