I usually politely decline, but it does get annoying sometimes and I don't always respond.
I understand if you put "Best Offer" in your listings you should respond, or at least set a ceiling to automatically decline an offer.
What's the etiquette for responding when you're NOT trolling for lower offers?

I'm a buyer that often messages a seller to discuss a potential lower price on an item, even if it's listed as a BIN with no OBO. Why? Because the answer is "no" to 100% of the questions you don't ask. If the initial question is asked in a polite manner, such a response should be reciprocated. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
I also believe all inquiries/offers should be responded to with a simple decline at the very least. Stupid offers are just that - stupid. But just end it, and be done.
