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.

I don't mind low ball offers, it creates a starting point at least, as long as the offer isn't a total insult ($10 on a $100 item).
