Quoted from FunkyFreshWalrus:

People on Craigslist get very mad for no reason. I just made a reasonable $150 offer on a beat EM game that had almost no backglass paint left. Trashed cabinet, poorly touched up playfield. They were asking $300. The seller responded with such anger Like I asked for their first born. Just a no will do. Was all be email, no real effort wasted.
Just find another machine somewhere and move on.

Relative anonymity brings out the worst in people.

Make a personal connection with potential buyers or sellers by speaking on the phone whenever possible.

You'll have better luck.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

If any one of you here was offered $200 for a Road Kings in any kind of non-flood recovery condition you'd probably be offended. But in a flea-market type situation the waters get a bit murkier.

I have never been offended by any offer. I have accepted offers, declined offers, and made counteroffers. It has never occurred to me to take offense to an offer.
