On the flip side you should ask why some people take offense when offered what would be a reasonable price for their gun (or whatever) which may be considerably less than what they were asking. All they need to do is say no thanks, or have a counteroffer prepared.
Both sides of the issue that either want to buy low or sell high seem to have the same problem. They are out of touch with reality. The market for a particular gun is set by willing sellers and willing buyers. If you try to use some other standard you're going to be sorely disappointed. People who get upset at what they consider a low-ball offer are my pet peeve. As Nancy Reagan said, "Just say no." I don't understand the point of getting upset unless you think your self-worth is tied up in your possessions and somebody is discounting you personally by making a low offer. It makes no sense to me. Things are worth what somebody will pay for them, not what you as a seller think they should sell for.
