Lowballing a Facebook Marketplace seller
There's a couch listed for $300. You want to offer $200 and not feel like a jerk. The seller is another human, not a store. You message them.

Pat — Facebook Marketplace seller
Replying between chores
“Hey! Yeah, the couch is still available. You interested?”
What you are trying to do
Your objective
Make a respectful low offer, be ready for a counter, and be willing to walk away without ghosting.
What good looks like
You made the offer, handled the counter or the pushback, and ended with a clear yes or no — no ghosting.
Difficulty
Friendly but busy. Be specific or they move on. Recommended.
