Agreed that's ridiculous. Part of the problem of nuance when not negotiating face-to-face though - it's hard to tell if you think someone is serious about "rock bottom." That's where you have to take people at their word, but sadly many do not.
I don't mind lowballing people occasionally if it's still a lot of money, you never know what the situation is, but it's usually telling in the negotiations even with BIN. For example: Card is listed at $400. I offer $250. Seller responds $395. Yep...that should be pretty telling to you as the buyer.
