What on earth makes you think they can’t?
My point is that ‘as a whole’ the public want things at ever lower prices, yet some people seem to get mightily offended when they are offered lower prices on their own gear.
I don’t have a local music shop so I can’t support them anymore because they all closed down, I used them when I could but it wasn’t enough as you and I are VERY much in the minority.
I hear tales of low ballers becoming insistent pests but it’s never happened to me. As far as I’m concerned that’s a different issue though, the problem isn’t the size of the offer it’s the obnoxious behaviour afterwards.
Talking of the sanctity of local music shops, by far the most frequently ridiculously low offers I’ve had for gear has been from......er, local music shops. I hear all sorts of rationalisations justifying this and there’s no doubt some truth in them. But I’m still a bit bemused that the chancer who offers you £900 for your £1500 guitar is low balling scum whereas the shop that offers £700 is just fine and dandy because, you know, overheads and VAT and they need to make a profit yada yada.

deleted - very poor attempt at a joke !
The world's full of chancers who adhere to the "if you don't ask, you don't get" philosophy.
You don't have to sell them your stuff.
Yes, Steve's OK - I bought a very nice USA Standard Strat from him a couple of years ago and I know a couple of people that deal with him regularly and speak well of him.
