isn't the seller supposed to wait till the offer to insult a prospective buyer?

My favorite when selling on craigslist is the text. I receive a text " whats the least you'll take?" Thats it. Have no idea who it is or what item i have they are interested in. They dont state their name or what they are inquiring about. Seriously? I usually reply- Who is this? Having a little fun with them.. What ad are you referring to? ... I have a few things for sale. (even if I dont). If I still have them at this point, I tell them - Come by & actually take a look at it. If after seeing it, if you don't think my asking price is fair, you can make me an offer. 9 times out of 10 there is no response. I really enjoy the negotiation part, both buying and selling. Now if I can just figure out how to build cars, part them out, & buy/sell parts for a living I'd be happy. For now its just a part time hobby. Great thread, I enjoyed reading all your responses.
