i see where you're coming from but karma.
what if the buyer doesn't know about said item and came across your listing accidentally? they begin to offer you something they feel is reasonable. i tell people some of my kicks are $300 usd market value and as much as $1000. they think it's ridiculous.
truth is, some people genuinely don't know. and you screwed em. could've been somebody's grandmother trying to surprise their grandson. or somebody new to the game. or just a random john smith.

Why not just stop posting on CL since you know everyone lowballs on their. Why not ebay? Oh cause you are too cheap to pay their fees like people are too cheap to pay your asking price. Your time obviously inst that valuable if your wasting it setting up these chases.

The thing with Craigslist is that it's a buyers market, not a sellers market. People feel empowered to negotiate, because frankly they can't negotiate with Target, Best Buy, Footlocker, etc. They could negotiate with you because 1) You need money 2) You need space 3)You don't need what you are selling 4) You don't want what you are selling.

If I know I want 200$ for something I'm selling, I'll post it for $220 (or something a little higher than 200). I'll see if anyone hits me up, and if they do and want to buy it for 220 then cool. If they try to pull the "will you take $200?" Then thats cool too since I was already looking for $200 for the item. Just a suggestion.

You should actually put "Price is firm. If you lowball me, I will agree to sale and stand you up" in your ad.

You're just being petty and you're worst than the lowballers IMO. Grow up. If you let things like this get to you, you'll never make it in the 'real world.'
