When we were looking for a house, we put an offer in on one and the seller replied that they thought the offer was "insulting". We thought that was rude but it was nothing compared to this.
We bid 10k under asking price because the owner ripped the place up and it needed tons of work. They said they would not accept any offers under asking. We thought about it and decided the house was in the perfect location and made the offer at asking price. They also were not happy about that because this was in 2021 and everything was selling for a ton over asking price. Thing is, those houses you could move into with minimal changes. This house needed abatement and a gutted bathroom and kitchen. We were the only offer and they begrudgingly accepted and tried every which way to nickel and dime us before closing.

Some sellers are delusional and think their house is special and that it will sell for more than they list, even expect it.
There have been times where I made an offer and the seller countered and based on their contingencies, I got the vibe that they were going to be an asshole through closing.
One seller even threatened to sue even though I was fully within my rights to walk away. My response to my agent was "tell them to serve me papers."
Never heard from them again.

In the offerers defense that is probably a price at or above current retail for a product with massive deprecation and in moderate to good condition.

Jesus wept. "Let me sue someone for not treating this ruinous housing bubble like I'm royalty for deigning to receive offers of fabulous wealth".

I once had some dude offer me $2K under blue book for a car and then taunt me when I told him it wasn't a serious offer. "yeah right like you're ever going to get that for it" he said. Got that price within a week and since I'm petty sometimes, I let him know

Based on... ? My experience indicates more of an issue with people basically wanting free stuff. I had a woman once haggle me over a refurbished in-box phone that sold new for $600 at the time. $100 (which she already had agreed to) was worth haggling over. Like do you want it for free?

People have overbid 10-20% or even more here in NL in the last few months for all kind of houses and apartments. Including once that need a ton of work.

On the rare occasion that I make an offer for something it will be very low because that is what I'm willing to pay to deal with the whole 'male an offer' process. A low bid is a low bid, not an insult.

Then it would seem you are not like the person I'm taking issue with.

I tried to edit to clarify immediately after but there might be some timer before editing.
Your guy was much of a dick about you not taking the offer as the OP seller was about getting a low budget. People who treat 'make me an offer' as some kind of preset range and get mad that others don't agree make the whole offer process painful.

There's no "preset range", but I would agree that if something is worth anywhere near $300, an offer of $20 is akin to saying "come on stranger, I want this for free"

Odds are just as high that the example $360 is an insultingly inflated price just like the $20 is likely to be far lower than what someone else is willing to spend on whatever is being sold.

Maybe I just tune out the high prices, but I don't notice as much of that

that's when you send the new offer of a whopping $21.37 and add "I'll even throw in half a jimmy johns sammich if you accept in the next 30 minutes"
that’s when you send the new offer of a whopping $21.37
Pffft. Next offer goes in at $19.50

At least he isn't offering $0. When I put things for sale I occasionally get people PMing me begging to get the item for free and occasionally writing 200 word sob stories.

A friend of mine put in a offer on a house a year ago - at their asking price - and got a similar response. Like don't make that your asking price if you're going to get angry when people offer that? But I guess all the houses around that area were selling above asking and they probably already had much higher offers, still doesn't excuse them being a dick.

Do they ask for delivery 40 minutes away too. Then get mad when you say no
